NOTICE. 


The  appearance  of  a  new  edition  of  the  dictionary  of  the  French  Academy,  in  1835, 
suggested  to  the  celebrated  publisher  Didot,  of  Paris,  the  idea  of  issuing  an  improved 
edition  of  the  well  known  dictionary  of  Chambaud.  Professor  Fleming,  formerly  Professor 
of  English  in  the  College  Louis  le  Grand,  and  Professor  Tibbins,  author  of  several  lexico¬ 
graphical  works,  to  whom  the  dictionary  was  entrusted,  found  it  necessary,  however,  to 
make  so  many  additions,  that  the  publishers  thought  a  new  title  ought  in  justice  to  the 
editors  to  be  adopted. 

It  may  be  sufficient  to  say,  in  presenting  the  present  dictionary  to  the  public,  that  it 
is  based  on  the  New  Royal  Dictionary  of  Professors  Fleming  and  Tibbins,  which  is 
allowed,  by  all  competent  authorities,  to  be  the  most  copious  and  comprehensive  that  has 
ever  appeared. 

The  student  and  reader  of  French  must  be  constantly  impressed  with  the  inadequacy  of 
the  dictionaries  accessible  to  him  as  representatives  of  the  present  state  of  the  language; 
and  with  the  omission  of  numerous  words  that  are  at  this  time  in  constant  use  ;  many  of 
which  have  been  introduced  in  very  modern  periods:  In  the  dictionary  of  Professors 
Fleming  and  Tibbins  these  omissions  are  supplied  ;  and  it  has  been  the  anxious  endea¬ 
vour  of  the  American  editor  to  add  such  terms  in  Natural  History,  Medicine,  Chemistry, 
&c.,  as  had  not  been  introduced  by  those  learned  gentlemen.  To  these  terms  an  asterisk 
(*)  has  been  prefixed  ;  and  in  general  the  particular  science  to  which  they  belong  has 
been  designated. 

The  tables  of  the  verbs  by  Mr.  Picot  have  been  added,  as  being  calculated  to  facilitate 
the  study  of  this  difficult  part  of  the  French  language.  In  these  tables — it  will  be  seen — 
the  verbs  are  numbered,  and  so  arranged  as  to  show,  at  a  glance,  the  formation  of  the 
various  tenses — simple  and  compound  ;  the  irregularities  ;  and  modes  of  conjugation — 
affirmatively,  negatively,  and  interrogatively.  To  the  different  verbs,  as  they  occur  in 
the  body  of  the  dictionary,  a  number  is  affixed  referring  to  the  tables  ;  and  as  their  pro¬ 
nunciation  is  distinctly  indicated,  the  work  may  be  considered  as  affording  a  complete  and 
ready  means  of  ascertaining  the  modes  of  conjugation,  and  the  pronunciation  of  the  verbs 
of  the  French  language  in  all  their  forms — a  desideratum  not  to  be  found  in  any  other 
publication  of  the  same  nature.

*  The  g  and  k  in  italic  type  denote  that,  between 
them  and  the  following  vowel,  a  sound  like  e  or  y  is 
interposed,  the  better  to  unite  the  letters,  and  soften  a 
little  their  hard  articulation.  This  softened  articula¬ 
tion  of  the  hard  c  and  k,  and  g,  is  noticed  in  Steele’s 
Gram.,  p.  49;  reproved  in  Nare’s  Orth.,  p.  28,  as  “a 
monster  of  pronunciation  only  heard  on  the  English 
stage."  It  is  given  as  polite  pronunciation  by  Mr. 
Walker,  who,  in  his  Pronouncing  Dictionary,  p.  13  and 
21,  directs  us  to  pronounce  card,  guard ,  kind,  etc.,  as  if 
spelt  ke-hard,  ghe-ard,  or  gyard,  kyind,  etc.  This  inter¬ 
mediate  sound  is  very  obvious  in  cue  and  argue,  which 
are  not  pronounced  kou  and  argou,  but  as  if  a  k  or  g 
were  articulated  before  the  pronoun  you,  so  that  kyou 
and  argyou  offer  the  same  sounds  as  cue  and  argue. 

The  sound  of  this  y  between  the  k  or  g  and  the  diph¬ 
thong  ou,  is  precisely  that  which  the  French  interpose 
between  them  and  their  u,  as  in  curé,  legume,  and 
which  they  frequently  express  by  an  u  after  q,  or  before 
their  e  and  te  as  in  manqué,  quête,  vainqueur,  guette, 
4 


Directions  for  using  the  similar  sounds  and 
articulations. 

1.  The  figures  over  the  vowels  mark  ineir  respec¬ 
tive  sounds.  To  have  them  perfect  they  must  be 
stripped  of  their  attending  consonants,  without  losing 
any  part  of  their  peculiar  sounds. 

2.  Two  vowels  in  the  same  syllable  are  to  be  pro¬ 
nounced  together,  and  the  first  shorter  than  the  second. 
Thus  in  pîâ-tà,  the  similar  sounds  for  piété,  the  Ï 
must  be  united  with  â ,  precisely  as,  in  the  word  osier, 
the  i  is  united,  with  er. 

3.  1  marked  with  the  figure  1,  is  equivalent  to  ie  in 

4.  oo  in  the  same  syllable  have  a  single  figure,  to 
show  that  they  express  a  single  sound,  as  in  môod  or 
hôod. 

5.  In  nouns  of  the  singular  number,  the  final  vowel 
marked  2,  undergoes  the  same  change  in  the  plural  ; 
thus  â-ml,  trà-2ôr,  similar  sounds  of  a-mi,  trésor, 
become  in  the  plural  â-ml,  trà-2Ôr. 

6.  The  standards  that,  have  a  u,  or  an  n  in  italic 
type,  are  peculiar  to  the  French  language.  Look 
to  them  as  directed  in  the  foregoing  table. 

7.  When  u  has  no  figure,  it  makes,  with  the  vowel  e, 
one  of  the  sounds  of  the  diphthong  eu  in  jeûne, 
mèute,  bêurre. 

8.  The  three  nasal  sounds  that  have  no  figure  never 
vary. 

9.  An  adjective  or  participle,  whose  feminine  is 
not  noticed  in  the  similar  spelling,  is  pronounced  in 
the  same  manner  for  both  genders,  except  the  sound 
of  a,  which  is  somewhat  longer  for  the  feminine. 

10.  The  syllables  are  divided  as  they  are  heard  in 
conversation,  and  not  as  they  are  counted  in  poetry. 

EXAMPLES. 

Veiller,  vê-Zà.  The  figure  2  above  the  e  refers  to 
the  e  in  ebb;  the  figure  3  above  the  a  refers  to  the  a 
in  base  ;  and  the  1  in  italic  refers  to  the  articulation 
of  gl  in  the  word  seraglio.  In  the  locution  veiller  à 
sa  conduite,  where  er  is  followed  by  a  vowel,  its 
figured,  pronunciation  would  be  vê-lêr.  See  page 
7,  col.  2,  termination  er. 

Courtisan,  e,  kôor-ti-zàn,  zàn.  The  figure  5 
above  the  o  refers  to  oo  in  hood,  the  figure  2  above 
the  i  refers  to  i  in  fig  ;  the  figure  4  above  the  first 
zan  refers  to  the  first  syllable  of  antique  ;  the  figure 
2  above  the  second  zan  ( which  represents  the  feminine 
termination  of  the  substantive  courtisan,  and  is  sepa¬ 
rated  from  the  masculine  by  a  comma),  refers  to  a  in 
bat  :  the  n  to  be  articulated  as  in  the  word  man. 

Poignard,  pwà-gnâr.  The  figure  2  above  the  a, 
in  both  syllables,  refers  to  a  in  bat  ;  the  gn  without  a 
hyphen,  refers  to  gn  in  the  word  poignant. 

Baguenaude,  bâg-nôd.  The  figure  2  above  the  a. 
refers  to  the  a  in  bat;  the  figure  1  above  the  o  refers 
to  the  o  in  robe;  the  g  separated  from  the  n  by  a 
hyphen  refers  to  the  gn  in  the  word  magnificent. 

Guerre,  gè  r.  The  figure  1  above  the  e  refers  to  the 
e  in  there  ;  and  the  g  in  italic  refers  to  the  g  in  the 
word  guard,  as  pronounced  by  Walker.  See  note 
immediately  below  the  table  of  the  consonants. 

Jour,  zôor.  The  figure  4  above  the  first  o  refers  to 
the  oo  in  mood  ;  the  z  in  italic  refers  to  the  z  as  pro¬ 
nounced  in  the  word  azure. 


guide,  rigueur,  etc.,  wherein  these  letters  are  less  hard 
than  in  corps,  garde,  though  harder  than  in  cet,  cité 
gène,  gîte. 


RULES  FOR  THE  PRONUNCIATION 


OF  THE 


FRENCH  VOWELS  AND  DIPHTHONGS. 


CHIEFLY  COLLECTED  FROM  THE 

PROSODY  OF  L’ABBE  D’OLIVET, 

AND  FROM  THE  BEST  WRITERS  ON  THE  SUBJECT. 


A  has  two  sounds.  It  is  long  in  bâs,  and  short  in 
bal.  The  English  have  the  first  sound  in  bar,  and 
the  second  in  bat. 

It  is  long  in  the  alphabet,  but  short  when  it  is  a 
verb  or  preposition  :  il  a,  he  has  ;  a,  to. 

It  is  short  in  the  beginning  of  a  word,  except  in 
âcre,  âge,  âffres,  âgnas,  âme,  âne,  âpre,  ârrhes,  âs, 
and  in  their  derivatives,  âcrelé,  âgé,  etc. 

It  is  short  at  the  end  of  words,  papa,  aima,  chanta. 
In  those  taken  from  foreign  languages,  it  is  some¬ 
thing  between  long  and  short,  as  in  sofa,  agenda,  etc. 

Abe  is  long  only  in  astrolabe  and  crâbe* * * § 

Able  is  long  in  most  verbs  and  substantives,! 
except  table  and  érable,  wherein  it  is  short,  as  in  all 
adjectives,  according  to  M.  D’Olivet;  and  doubtful, 
according  to  M.  Féraud.  Custom  seems  to  be  in 
favour  of  the  latter.! 

Abre  is  long,  even  before  a  masculine^  termi¬ 
nation:  sâbre,  sabrer,  etc. 

Ac.  General  rules:  All  final  syllables  are  short, 
when  followed  by  any  consonant  except  s,  z,  or  x  : 
sac,  nectar,  sel,  pot,  uf,  etc. 

All  masculine  syllables,  long  or  short  in  the  sin¬ 
gular  number,  are  always  long  in  the  plural:  des 
sâcs,  des  sels,  des  pots,  etc. 

All  masculine  nouns  that  end  their  singular  num¬ 
ber  with  s,  z,  or  a:,  are  long  :  le  temps,  lenêz,  la  voix,  etc. 

Ace  is  long  only  in  grâce,  espace,  délâce,  lâce,  en- 
trelâce. 

Ache  is  long  only  in  lâche,  tâche  (a  task),  gâche, 
relâche,  mâche,  fâche,  and  in  the  verbs  derived  from 
them,  even  before  a  masculine  syllable  :  lâcher, 
relâchons ,  etc. 

Acle  is  long  only  in  râcle,  il  débâcle  ;  doubtful  in 
all  others. 

Acre  is  long  only  in  âcre  (sharp,  sour). 

Ade  is  always  short  :  aubade,  fade,  etc. 

Adre  is  short  only  in  ladre,  long  in  all  other  words, 
even  before  a  masculine  syllable  :  câdrc,  câdrer,  etc. 


*  These  rules  chiefly  relate  to  final  syllables,  the 
sound  of  which  is  more  easily  distinguished. 

t  Mr.  Tardy  thinks  the  termination  in  most  of 
the  verbs  and  substantives  which  end  in  able  is 
long:  still,  the  a  in  the  French  termination  able 
being  shorter  than  the  a  of  the  English  word  bat  to 
which  it  refers  ;  we  have  adopted  the  opinion  which 
pronounces  it  doubtful;  and  as  we  have  suppressed 
all  doubtful  sounds,  as  being  very  puzzling  to  the 
English  student,  we  have  always  referred  that  ter¬ 
mination  to  bat,  in  which  the  a  has  nearly  the  same 
sound  as  in  able. 

Î  A  doubtful  vowel  is  long  when  its  word  ends  a 
sentence;  in  other  cases  it  is  generally  short. 

§  A  syllable  is  termed  feminine  when  it  ends  with 
an  e  mute,  like  sobre,  aimes,  parlent.  All  other  ter¬ 
minations  are  masculine. 


Afe,  aphe,  are  always  short  :  carafe,  épitaphe,  etc. 

Affres,  afre,  are  long  only  in  âffres  and  bâfre. 

Afe  is  long  even  before  a  masculine  syllable: 
râfle,  rafler,  etc. 

Age  is  long  only  in  âge. 

Ague  is  long  only  in  gagne,  and  all  the  tenses  of 
the  verb  gâgner. 

Ague  is  always  short  :  bague,  dague,  etc. 

Ai,  a  false  diphthong,  which  admits  of  the  three 
sounds  of  the  masculine  e,  has  the  sound  of  the 
close  é  only  in  j'âi,je  sais,  tu  sais,  bâi;  of  the  open 
acute  e  in  the  middle,  and  at  the  end  of  words,  ex¬ 
cept  in  essai,  delai,  vrai,  wherein  it  is  doubtful,  ac¬ 
cording  to  some  ;  long  and  open,  according  to  others  ; 
and  of  the  open  grave  <s,  when  followed  by  e,  s,  rs, 
ts,  re,  and  when  it  has  the  circumflex  accent  ;  plaie 
jamais,  pairs,  portraits,  faire,  faite,  etc. 

Aie  is  always  long.  General  rules:  All  vowels 
immediately  followed  by  an  e  mute  are  long  :  plaie, 
pensée,  joie,  etc.  Except  when  there  is  a  liquid  arti¬ 
culation,  as  in  paye.  But  many  authors  change  the 
y  into  i,  and  write  paie,  in  which  case  there  is  no 
occasion  for  this  exception. 

When  a  vowel  meets  any  other  vowel  but  the 
mute  e,  it  becomes  short  :  i,  for  instance,  is  long  in 
je  lie,  and  short  in  nous  lions. 

Aigne  is  always  short  :  châtaigne,  dédaigne,  etc. 

Aigre  is  always  short  :  aigre,  maigre,  etc. 

Ail  is  alw7ays  short:  General  rule  :  All  final  syl¬ 
lables  are  short  that  end  with  a  liquid  l,  eventail, 
soleil,  seuil,  etc. 

Aille  is  short  in  médaille,  je  travaille,  détaille, 
émaillé,  bâille  (I  give),  and  in  all  the  tenses  of  these 
verbs.  It  is  long  in  all  other  words,  even  before  a 
masculine  syllable  :  raille,  raillons,  etc. 

Aillet,  ai.llir,  are  always  short:  pâillet,  jâillir ,  etc. 
j  Aillon  is  short  only  in  médaillon  and  bataillon  ; 
and  in  these  verbs,  nous  détaillons,  émâillons,  tra¬ 
vaillons,  bâillons  (we  give);  but  long  in  nous  bâil¬ 
lons  (we  yawn),  and  in  all  other  words. 

Aim,  ain,  im,  in.  General  rule  :  All  nasal  termi¬ 
nations,  followed  by  a  consonant  which  begins 
another  syllable,  are  long  :  jâm-be,  mén-tor,  bôm-be, 
crâin-dre,  etc. 

But  w7hen  the  m  or  n  of  the  nasal  terminations  is 
doubled,  there  is  no  nasal  sound,  and  the  vowel  is 
short  :  épigram-me,  person-ne,  etc. 

An  exact  standard  for  this  nasal  sound  is  not  to  be 
found  in  the  English  pronunciation,  though  some¬ 
thing  like  it  is  heard  in  the  word  hang.  With  re¬ 
gard,  however,  to  this  and  oîher  nasal  sounds,  as 
on,  un,  Mr.  Walker  very  properly  observes,  that  “  If, 
in  pronouncing  them,  the  tongue  should  once  touch 
the  roof  of  the  mouth  (as  it  happens  in  pronouncing: 
man,  men,  sin,  son,  sun),  the  French  nasal  sound 
w7ould  be  ruined.” 

The  French  standard  for  this  is  in,  in  vin. 

Aime,  the  only  word  that  has  this  termination,  is 
short.

RULES  FOR  PRONUNCIATION. 


Aine  is  long  only  in  haine,  chaîne,  gaine,  traîne, 
and  in  their  derivatives. 

Air  is  doubtful  in  the  singular,  and  long  in  the 
plural:  éclairs,  etc. 

Aire,  ais,  aix,  aise,  aisse,  are  always  long;  paire, 
palais,  etc. 

Ait,  aile,  are  long  only  in  plait,  nàil,  repaît,  faite 
(t0.P); 

Aitre  is  always  long:  maître,  etc. 

Ale  is  long  only  in  hale,  pâle,  un  mâle,  râle,  and  in 
their  derivatives,  hâler,  pâleur,  etc. 

Aile  is  always  short  :  malle,  etc. 

Am,  an,  em,  en.  This  nasal  vowel  has  four 
sounds  ;  it  is  always  long  when  spelt  with  an  a, 
except  in  comptant  (ready  money).* 

When  it  is  spelt  with  an  e,  it  is  long  in  the  begin¬ 
ning,  and  in  the  middle  of  words,  and  at  the  end  of 
adjectives,  as  in  prudent,  ensemble,  exempt,  etc. 

2dly.  Generally  short  at  the  end  of  substantives 
and  adverbs,  as  in  vent,  sagement,  etc. 

3dly.  Short  and  slender  in  mien,  tien,  sien,  bien, 
lien,  rien,  etc. 

4thly.  Long  and  slender  in  the  plural  of  these 
words,  in  mentor,  and  some  other  words,  wherein  it 
has  the  sound  of  in,  in  vin. 

The  first  sound  is  heard  in  the  two  syllables  of 
énfânt,  and  in  the  first  of  encore,  which  the  English 
have  adopted  with  its  nasal  sound. 

The  second  has  for  standard  en  in  chit.  Those 
who  can  pronounce  en  in  encore,  may  easily  obtain 
its  short  sound  by  dwelling  less  upon  it.  Something 
like  it  is  heard  in  the  word  sand. 

The  third,  heard  in  the  last  syllable  of  lien,  has 
something  like  it  in  the  word  send. 

The  fourth,  heard  in  mentor,  has  the  sound  of  in 
in  vin.  See  under  Aim  what  is  said  of  the  nasal 
sounds. 

In  this  dictionary,  the  first  three  sounds  of  that 
nasal  vowel  are  always  spelt  en,  except  after  the 
hard  g  and  k,  where  the  a  is  belter  calculated  to 
preserve  the  hard  articulation  of  these  two  conso¬ 
nants. 

Ame  is  long  only  in  âme,  infâme,  blâme,  il  se 
pâme,  un  brâme  ;  in  the  preterites,  as  aimâmes,  etc., 
and  in  flamme,  although  the  m  be  doubled. 

Ane,  anne,  are  long  only  in  crâne  âne,  mânes,  la 
mânne,  une  mânne,  dâmne  and  condâmne. 

Ape,  appe,  are  long  only  in  râpe,  and  in  the  verb 
râper. 

Apre  is  always  long. 

Aque  is  long  only  in  pâque  and  Jacques. 

Ar  is  always  short.  N.  B.  Some  authorities  are 
for  excepting  char  and  proper  names,  as  César, 
Gibraltar,  etc.,  which  are  certainly  pronounced  long, 
at  the  end  of  a  sentence. 

Arbe.  General  rule  :  In  all  syllables  ending  with 
an  r,  and  followed  by  another  consonant  which  be¬ 
gins  another  syllable,  the  vowel  is  short  :  bar-be, 
ber-ceau,  etc. 

Ard,  art,  are  doubtful.  Rut  when  an  e  mute  fol¬ 
lows  the  d  or  t,  the  a  is  short.  See  Arbe,  cafard, 
cafarde. 

Are  is  always  long:  pare  ;  but  becomes  short  be¬ 
fore  a  masculine  syllable:  il  para,  etc. 

Arre.  General  rule:  All  vowels  before  rr,  which 
form  a  single  articulation,  are  long,  as  ârrêt,  bârre,  etc. 

Exceptions  to  this  rule  will  be  found  in  their  re¬ 
spective  places. 

Ari  is  long  only  in  hourvâri. 

As  is  generally  long,  as  in  tâs,  bas,  âs,  Pallâs,  etc. 

Ase.  General  rule  :  S  or  z,  between  two  vow'els, 
the  last  of  which  is  an  e  mute,  lengthens  and  opens 
the  penultima  :  bâse,  pise,  etc.  ;  but  this  penultima 


*  Am,  an,  em,  en,  these  four  terminations  are  un¬ 
doubtedly  different  in  their  sounds,  but  the  differ¬ 
ence  is  so  little  that  only  a  native  can  distinguish  it, 
and  in  a  hundred  English  students,  not  one  perhaps 
would  be  able  to  find  it  out:  we  have  therefore 
"eferred  them  all  to  an  of  the  French  word  antique. 

6 


often  becomes  short  before  a  masculine  syllable,  as 
in  peser,  apaiser,  etc. 

Aspe.  General  rule  :  An  s  articulated  after  a 
vowel,  and  followed  by  another  consonant,  always 
renders  the  vowel  short:  jaspe,  masque,  lustre,  etc. 

Asse  is  long  in  the  substantives:  basse,  châsse 
(shrine),  clâsse,  échâsse,  pâsse,  masse  (stake),  and 
tâsse  ;  in  the  adjectives  bâsse,  grâsse,  lâsse  ;  in  the 
verbs  casse,  amâsse,  enchâsse,  compâsse,  sâsse  ;  and 
in  their  masculine  terminations,  câsser,  etc.  ;  in 
words  derived  from,  or  composed  of  these  verbs; 
also  in  the  terminations  of  the  subjunctive  mood, 
aimâsse,  parlâsses,  chantâssent,  etc.  It  is  short  in 
all  other  words. 

At  is  long  only  in  bât,  mât,  dégât,  and  in  the  third 
person  singular  of  the  preterite  of  the  subjunctive. 
qu'il  aimât,  etc. 

Ate,  ates,  are  long  only  in  pâle,  hâte,  il  appâte,  gâte, 
mâte,  démâte;  and  in  the  preterite  tense,  chantâtes, etc. 

Aire,  attre,  is  only  short  in  quatre,  battre,  and  its 
derivatives. 

Au,  a  false  diphthong,  has  the  three  sounds  of  the 
French  o.  See  O. 

It  is  generally  long  and  open  before  a  feminine 
termination  or  a  consonant  at  the  end  of  a  word;  in 
the  plural  number,  and  under  the  circumflex  accent  ; 
as  in  âuge,  châud,  maux,  etc. 

It  is  short  in  Paul,  and  before  two  consonants,  as 
in  augmenter,  etc. 

It  is  long  and  broad  before  re,  as  in  restâure,  etc.; 
in  all  other  cases  it  is  generally  doubtful,  as  in  au¬ 
dace,  épauler,  joyau,  etc. 

Ave  is  short  in  rave,  cave,  etc.  ;  frequently  long,  as 
in  grave,  entrave,  etc.  ;  and  doubtful  in  brave  and 
Balave. 

Avre  is  always  long  :  cadâvre,  etc. 

Ax,  axe,  are  always  short  :  thorax,  parallaxe,  etc. 

The  French  Academy  admits  three  sounds  of  the 
letter  e  :  the  close ,  the  open,  and  the  mute. 

But  the  open  may  be  more  or  less  so.  It  is  a  little 
open  in  ferme,  and  entirely  so  in  procès.  When  it 
is  a  little  open,  the  Academy  calls  it  open  acute, 
and  assigns  for  its  standard  the  first  e  in  trompette. 
Dumarsais,  and  others,  call  it  the  common  or  middle 
e:  when  it  is  entirely  open,  it  is  called  open  grave. 
Therefore  we  must  distinguish  three  masculine  é's, 
viz.,  the  close,  the  open  acute,  and  the  open  grave. 

These  are  termed  masculine,  in  opposition  to  the 
mute  e,  the  sign  of  the  feminine  gender  in  most  ad¬ 
jectives,  and  all  past  participles. 

The  close  é  is  so  called  from  its  being  pronounced 
with  the  mouth  almost  closed,  and  from  its  slender 
sound. 

It  may  be  deemed  short,  if  compared  with  its 
feminine  termination,  wherein  the  e  mute  obliges 
us  to  dwell  somewhat  more  upon  it,  as  is  obvious  in 
aisé,  aisée  ;  but  it  is  long,  if  compared  with  the  open 
acute,  which  is  shorter,  though  it  frequently  bears 
the  same  accent.  This  is  observable  in  créé,  where¬ 
in  the  first  é  is  somewhat  more  open  than  the  last, 
and  evidently  shorter,  according  to  the  general  rule 
which  is  to  be  found  after  the  termination  éé.  See  Éé. 

The  natural  standard  for  this  é  is  the  primitive 
sound  by  which  it  is  known  in  the  French  alphabet 
as  in  bonté,  and  answers  to  the  first  letter  in  the 
English  alphabet,  as  in  fate. 

The  open  acute  é,  so  named  from  being  somewhat 
more  open  than  the  close  é,  and  from  the  acute  ac¬ 
cent  which  it  frequently  bears,  is  always  short.  It 
is  found  in  the  first  e  of  créé  or  trompette,  and  is  the 
same  as  in  the  English  words,  met,  ebb. 

The  open  grave  è  is  so  called  from  requiring  a 
greater  opening  of  the  mouth,  and  from  the  grave 
<>or  circumflex  accent  which  generally  attends  it,  as 
in  après  and  tête.  It  is  similar  in  sound  to  the 
English  e  in  there. 

The  mute  e  is  a  mere  emission  of  the  voice,  and 
is  so  very  imperceptible  to  the  ear,  that  the  diffe¬ 
rence  between  froc  and  froque,  crep  and  crêpe,  can 
only  be  decided  by  the  spelling. 


RULES  FOR  PRONUNCIATION. 


Dumarsais  thinks  that  the  articulation  of  the  con-  i 
sonant  by  which  it  is  preceded,  is  sufficient  to  ex¬ 
press  it,  as  in  mner,  and  dmender,  the  figured  spell¬ 
ing  of  mener  and  demander.  In  monosyllables, 
however,  and  in  the  first  syllables  of  other  words, 
the  imperfect  sound  of  this  letter  is  more  perceptible, 
and  may  be  termed  guttural. 

At  the  end  of  polysyllables,  where  it  is  entirely 
mute,  it  is  like  the  second  e  in  there,  and  generally 
serves  to  lengthen  or  open  the  preceding  vowel: 
when  it  is  more  perceptible,  it  is  like  the  e  in  bat¬ 
tery  or  over  ;  and  even  then  the  French  suppress  it 
as  often  as  they  can,  especially  when  the  preceding 
or  following  syllable  has  a  full  sound. 

P.  Gatineau,  who  has  written  on  this  subject, 
gives  the  following  example,  which  is  very  correct: 
“  Quand  vous  serez  le  meme,  vous  me  trouverez  le 
même.  This  sentence  contains  thirteen  syllables  in 
prose,  quand-vous-se-rez-le-même-vous-me-trou-ve-rez- 
le-même.  In  poetry  même  would  have  two  syllables. 
However,  in  familiar  reading  and  conversation,  it  is 
pronounced  in  eight  syllables  only,  quand-vou-srel- 
même-voum-trouv-rel-même."  The  suppression  of 
this  e  is  precisely  the  reason  why  foreigners  imagine 
that  the  French  speak  so  very  quick. 

This  imperfect  sound  would  be  insupportable  in 
two  syllables  together  at  the  end  of  a  word.  To 
avoid  this  dissonance,  therefore,  the  mute  e  is 
changed  into  an  open  è,  in  the  penultima  of  verbs, 
as  in  mène  from  mener  ;  in  tienne  from  tenir,  where 
the  consonant  is  doubled,  producing  the  same  effect  ; 
while  in  others  the  e  is  changed  into  the  diphthong 
oi,  as  in  doivent  from  devoir. 

When  the  pronoun  je  comes  after  its  verb,  it 
produces  the  same  effect,  so  thatye  chante,  je  mène, 
become  chanté je?  mené-je ?  And  in  this  case  the 
guttural  e  of  mener  that  had  become  open  acute  in 
mène,  becomes  again  guttural  in  mené-je  ? 

E,  when  under  the  acute  accent,  is  generally 
close  at  the  end  of  words,  as  bonté,  aisé  ;  2dly,  in 
adverbs  derived  from  adjectives  ending  in  e,  as 
aisémeiit  ;  3dly,  before  the  feminine  termination  of 
adjectives,  where  it  is  somewhat  longer,  as  in  aisée  ; 
in  every  other  place  it  is  almost  always  open  acute.* 
It  is  close  likewise  in  the  termination  ez  and  er, 
when  the  r  is  silent;  and  open  acute  in  any  other 
place  where  it  is  not  open  grave,  or  doubtful. 

It  is  generally  open  grave  under  the  circumflex 
and  grave  accent  ;  and  sometimes  doubtful,  as  will 
be  seen  hereafter. 

N.  B.  The  following  rules  relate  to  the  open 
acute  é,  and  to  the  open  grave,  when  the  word 
dose  is  not  mentioned. 

Ecle,  ebre,  ec,  ece,  are  always  short  :  bee,  niece,  etc. 

Eche  is  long  only  in  bêche,  lèche,  griêchc,  pêche 
(fishing,  or  peach),  revêche,  il  pêche  (he  fishes),  dé¬ 
pêche,  empêche,  prêche,  and  in  all  the  tenses  and 
persons  of  these  verbs. 

Ecle,  eel,  ele,  ede,  eder,  are  always  short:  siècle, 
insecte.,  céder,  etc. 

Ee  is  always  long  and  close,  as  in  animée,  etc. 
See  Aie. 

Ee.  General  rule:  All  vowels  before  any  other 
than  the  mute  e,  are  short;  créé,  féal,  hair,  etc. 


*  It  has  been  thought  proper  to  adhere  to  the  an¬ 
cient  custom  of  writing  this  second  e  with  the  acute 
accent,  to  avoid  the  double  mistake  frequently  occa¬ 
sioned  by  those  who  of  late  have  written  it  with 
the  grave  accent,  in  some  terminations,  as  éce,  éde, 
etc.  Those  wrho  are  unacquainted  with  M.  d’Oli- 
vet’s  rules,  being  misled  by  the  grave  accent,  give 
to  that  é  the  sound  of  the  open  grave  è,  whilst  on 
the  other  hand,  they  are  induced  to  confound  with 
the  close  e  all  the  open  acute  ones,  which  have  not 
been  subjected  to  this  partial  reform.  A  little  atten¬ 
tion  to  the  above  rule  will  be  sufficient  to  prevent 
the  mistaking  of  the  close  é  for  the  open  acute.  As 
to  the  exceptions  to  this  or  any  of  these  rules,  the 
similar  spelling  of  every  word  will  remove  all  doubts. 


Ef  is  always  short;  effe,  ejle,  are  long  only  in 
grêffe  and  néjle. 

Ege  is  always  long:  collège,  etc.  Some  make  it 
short.  The  prevailing  custom  seems  to  be  for  pro¬ 
nouncing  it  long  at  the  end  of  a  sentence  and  short 
in  any  other  place. 

Egle  is  always  short:  règle,  sèigle,  etc. 

Egne  is  doubtful  :  règne,  douègne,  etc. 

Eille  is  long  in  viêille,  vieillard,  vieillesse,  which 
have  the  sound  of  the  close  é. 

Ein,  einte,  are  always  long.  See  Aim. 

Eine  is  long  only  in  rêine. 

Eiire  is  long  only  in  rêitre. 

Ele  is  long  only  in  zèle,  poêle,  frêle,  pêle-mêle, 
grêle,  il  se  fêle,  il  bêle. 

Em,  en.  See  Aim  and  An.  But  there  is  no  nasal 
sound  in  Béthléèm,  item,  amèn,hymèn, etc.  And  when¬ 
ever  the  m  or  n  is  articulated,  the  e  is  open  acute. 

Erne  is  short  only  in  sème.  It  is  doubtlul  in  crème ; 
and  long  in  any  other  word.  The  terminations  in 
ieme  are  frequently  heard  short  before  another  word. 

Ene  is  long  only  in  cène,  chêne,  scène,  gêne,  alêne 
rêne,  frêne,  arène,  pêne,  and  in  all  proper  names 
Enne  is  always  short,  étrènne,  etc. 

Epe  is  always  long  :  crêpe,  etc. 

Epre  is  short  only  in  lèpre,  etc. 

Epie,  eptre,  are  always  short  :  précèpte,  scèptre,  etc. 

Eque  is  long  only  in  évêque,  archevêque. 

Er  is  long  and  open  in  fêr,  enfer,  mêr,  amer, 
hivêr  ;  long  and  close  in  légêr,  altiêr  ;  and  in  ail 
nouns  and  verbs,  as  aimêr,  berger,  etc.,  when  the  r 
is  silent  ;  but  when  the  r  is  articulated,  as  it  must 
be,  especially  in  verbs,  before  a  word  beginning 
with  a  vowel,  the  e  is  open  acute,  and  short  as  in 
the  English  word  ebb,  see  Table  of  the  Simple 
Sounds,  p.  11.  This  articulation  of  the  r,  however, 
is  principally  applicable  to  solemn  reading. 

Erie,  erce,  erse,  erche,  ercle,  erde,  erdre,  are  all 
short.  See  Arbe. 

Erd,  ert,  are  doubtful  :  il  perd,  désert,  etc. 

Ere  is  doubtful  :  frère,  chimère,  etc.,  but  it  is  con 
stantly  long  in  the  third  persons  plural  of  verbs:  ils 
espèrent,  parlèrent,  etc. 

Erge,  ergue,  erle,  erme,  erne,  erpe,  erte,  ertre, 
esque,  este,  estre,  are  all  short.  See  Arbe. 

Erre  is  always  long,  even  before  a  masculine  syl¬ 
lable:  guêrre,  vêrrons,  etc.,  but  it  is  short  when  the 
two  rr  are  heard  separately,  as  in  erreur ,  etc. 

Esse  is  long  only  in  abêsse,  profêsse,  confesse, 
prêsse,  comprêsse,  cêsse,  lêsse,  expresse,  il  s'emprêsse, 
il  profêsse. 

Et  is  long  only  in  arrêt,  benêt,  forêt,  genêt,  prêt, 
aprêt,  acquêt,  intérêt,  têt,  protêt,  il  êst. 

Eté  is  long  only  in  bête,  fête,  arbalète,  boête,  tem¬ 
pête,  quête,  conquête,  enquête,  requête,  arrête,  crête, 
tête  ;  it  i-s  doubtful  in  êtes  and  honnête,  and  short  in 
all  the  rest. 

Etre  is  long  only  in  être,  salpêtre,  ancêtre,  fenêtre, 
prêtre,  champêtre,  nêlre,  chevêtre, guêtre,  je  me  dépêtre. 

Eu.  This  diphthong  has  three  different  sounds: 
it  is  long  and  close  in  jêune  (fasting),  short  in  jèune 
(young)  ;  long  and  open  in  bêurre. 

The  first  has  no  standard  in  English  ;  but  it  may 
be  obtained  by  pressing  the  lips  a  little  forward,  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  leave  to  the  breath  a  narrower 
passage  than  for  the  e  of  over,  and  by  dwelling 
longer  upon  it. 

The  second  is  somewhat  more  open  than  the  e  of 
over,  and  can  hardly  be  distinguished  from  it. 

The  third  may  be  obtained  by  opening  the  lips 
somewhat  wider,  and  in  a  more  circular  form,  than 
for  the  e  of  over,  and  by  protracting  the  sound.* 


*  No  grammarian,  I  believe,  has  ever  distinguish¬ 
ed  the  third  sound,  so  different  from  the  two  first. 
Hence  some  pronounce  bêurre,  lêurre,  etc.,  with  the 
sound  of  eu,  in  jeune,  which  is  a  very  vicious  pro¬ 
nunciation;  for  in  French,  as  in  English,  the  r 
generally  opens  the  sound  of  the  preceding  vowel. 
By  others,  and  specially  by  foreigners,  feux,  dieux. 


RULES  FOR  PRONUNCIATION. 


Eu,  unless  accented,  is  short  in  the  beginning 
and  in  the  middle  of  words  :  heureux,  ameuter,  etc.  ; 
it  is  doubtful  at  the  end,  feu,  jeu,  etc.,  and  when  it 
is  long  it  has  the  close  sound  of  eu  in  jeune ,  unless 
it  be  followed  by  an  r.

short. 

I  has  two  sounds  ;  it  is  long  in  gîte,  and  short  in 
amt.  The  standard  for  the  first,  in  English,  is  ie  in 
field,  and  of  the  second  i  in  fig. 

ldre  is  long  only  in  hidre  and  cidre. 

Ie  is  always  long.  See  Aie. 

Ien,  when  it  is  a  dissyllable,  both  syllables  are

regtlre  and  all  the  rest. 

Ive  is  long  only  in  adjectives:  vive,  craintive ,  etc. 

Ivre  is  long  only  in  vivres. 

O  has  three  sounds  ;  it  is  long  and  open  in  trône, 
and  short  in  noble.  It  is  long  and  broad  when  the  o 
precedes  the  final  syllable  re,  adore,  jlôre,  aurore  ; 
when  the  or  is  connected  with  the  following  conso¬ 
nant,  as  in  corps,  alors,  fort  ;  as  also  when  it  con¬ 
stitutes  a  word,  or.\ 


généreux,  jeune,  etc.,  are  pronounced  with  the  sound 
of  eu  in  beurre,  which  is  no  less  exceptionable. 

*  The  French  termination  eur  undergoes  so  tri¬ 
fling  a  change  in  its  plural,  that  we  have  made  no 
difference  in  them,  and  refer  both  singular  and 
plural  to  eu  of  beurre. 

t  Ir.  This  termination  not  being  noticed  here,  it 
must,  according  to  Mr.  Tardy,  be  short;  however, 
the  sound  of  this  termination,  in  most  of  our  verbs, 
is  longer  than  the  i  of  bit,  to  which  it  refers,  and  not 
quite  so  long  as  ie  of  field;  but  we  have  adhered  to 
this  termination,  as  being  more  nearly  allied  to  the 
French  sound  than  the  other. 

Î  We  have  made  use  of  a  fourth  termination,  to 
represent  the  sound  of  o  when  it  is  as  open  but  not 
so  long  as  o  in  trône  ;  which  is  generally  the  case 
when  the  o  is  followed  by  no  consonant,  or  when 
the  consonant  that  follows  is  mute,  as  in  vos,  héros, 
mot,  in  which  the  o  is  as  open  but  somewhat  shorter 
than  the  o  in  the  word  robe,  to  which  it  was  con¬ 
stantly  referred. 


N.  B.  This  third  sound  has  not  been  noticed  by 
any  grammarian.  It  would,  however,  be  highly 
improper  to  pronounce  the  o  in  aurore,  corps,  alors, 
etc.,  like  the  o  in  trône  or  noble. 

The  standard  in  English  is,  for  the  first,  o  in  robe  ; 
for  the  second,  o  in  rob;  for  the  third,  o  in  lord. 

O  in  the  beginning  of  a  word,  is  long  only  in  ôs, 
osier,  ôter,  hôte. 

Obe  is  long  only  in  globe  and  lobe. 

Ode,  oge,  are  long  only  in  rôde,  dôge. 

Oi,  a  diphthong  that  sometimes  has  the  sounds  of 
wa  in  war,  or  wart  ;  sometimes  those  of  e  in  there  or 
ebb.  It  is  doubtful  at  the  end  of  words,  where  it 
has  always  the  sounds  of  wâ  or  wâ,  moi,  toi,  roi,  etc. 

Oie  is  always  long:  joie,  etc. 

Oient,  a  false  diphthong,  that  has  always  the  sound 
of  the  open  grave  e,  ils  aimôient,  etc. 

Oin,  a  diphthong,  which  has  the  sound  of  in  in 
vin,  preceded  by  the  English  w.  See  Aim. 

Oir  is  doubtful  :  savoir,  espoir,  etc. 

Oire  is  always  long  :  boire,  mémoire,  etc. 

Ois,  oise,  oisse,  oitre,  oivre,  are  always  long,  whe¬ 
ther  they  have  the  sound  of  wâ,  or  of  an  open  grave  è. 

Oit  is  long  only  in  il  parôit,  connôit  and  croit  (he 
increases). 

Ole  is  long  only  in  drôle,  pôle,  geôle,  môle,  rôle, 
contrôle,  il  enjôle,  enrôle,  vole  (he  steals). 

Om,  on.  This  nasal  vowel  has  no  exact  standard 
in  English;  but  something  like  it  is  heard  in  song. 
See  Aim.  In  French  its  standard  is  on,  in  mon,  and 
it  is  always  long. 

Ome  is  short  only  in  Rome.  Omme  is  always  short. 

One  is  always  long  when  the  n  is  not  doubled  : 
trône,  etc. 

Or  is  always  short,  according  to  M.  d’Olivet. 
Some  think  it  short  only  in  castor,  butor,  encor;  but 
longer  in  all  the  other  words,  when  r  is  followed  by 
a  d  or  a  t.  This  latter  opinion,  seems  to  prevail, 
especially  when  the  word  ends  a  sentence.  There¬ 
fore,  o  in  or,  essor,  port,  bord,  etc.,  should  be  placed 
in  the  class  of  the  doubtful  vowels. 

Ore  is  always  long  and  broad:  encore,  évapore,  etc. 
But  it  becomes  short  before  a  masculine  syllable, 
évaporer,  etc.  ;  unless  followed  by  two  rr,  which 
form  a  single  articulation,  as  in  éclôrrai,  etc. 

Os,  ose,  are  always  long:  repos,  oppose,  etc. 

Osse  is  long  only  in  grosse,  fosse,  endosse,  en¬ 
grosse,  and  in  their  derivatives,  which  preserve  the 
o  long  even  before  a  masculine  syllable  :  grosseur,  etc. 

Ol  is  long  only  in  impôt,  lôt,  dépôt,  entrepôt,  sup¬ 
pôt,  prévôt,  rôt. 

Ole  is  long  only  in  hôte,  côte,  mallôle,  ôte.  The 
three  last  preserve  the  o  long  before  a  masculine 
syllable  :  côté,  ôter,  maltôtier,  etc. 

Olre  is  long  in  apôtre,  nôtre  and  vôtre. 

Ou,  a  false  diphthong,  which  is  long  in  roule,  and 
short  in  boule. 

The  first  has  for  its  standard,  in  English,  the  two 
oo  in  mood  ;  the  second,  the  two  oo  in  good. 

Oudre,  oue,  are  always  long:  moudre,  je  loue,  etc. 

Ouille  is  long  only  in  rouille,  il  dérouille,  em¬ 
brouille,  débrouille  ;  but  becomes  short  before  a 
masculine  syllable,  rouiller,  brouillon,  etc. 

Ouïe  is  long  only  in  moule  (muscle),  la  foule, 
sôule,  il  foule,  écroule,  roule. 

Oure  is  doubtful  :  bravoure,  etc. 

Ourre  is  always  long;  but  ourr  becomes  short 
before  a  masculine  syllable,  contrary  to  the  rule 
after  arre  ;  bourrade,  courrier. 

Ousse  is  long  only  in  pousse. 

Out  is  long  only  in  août,  côut,  gôut,  môut. 

Oute  is  long  in  absoute,  joute,  croate,  vôute  ;  il 
coûte,  broute,  gôute,  ajoute  ;  but  mostly  short  before 
a  masculine  syllable  :  jouter,  etc. 

Outre  is  long  only  in  poutre  and  côutre. 

U  has  two  sounds  ;  it  is  long  in  base,  and  short  in 
bid. 

There  is  no  standard  for  these  sounds  in  English. 
To  form  the  first,  observe  the  situation  of  the 
tongue  when  you  pronounce  the  English  letter  a 


RULES  FOR  PRONUNCIATION. 


It  widens  itself  into  the  cheeks,  so  that  it  touches 
the  first  grinders.  When  the  tongue  is  in  this 
situation,  advance  both  lips  a  little  forward,  shutting 
them  at  the  same  time  in  such  a  manner  as  to  leave 
a  narrow  oval  passage  tor  the  breath.  This  move¬ 
ment  will  lightly  press  the  tongue  between  the 
grinders,  and  its  tip  against  the  fore-teeth  of  the 
inferior  jaw,  and  thus  let  pass  what  breath  is  neces¬ 
sary  to  emit  the  sound  of  the  French  u.  Its  short 
sound  is  formed  by  dwelling  less  upon  it. 

Uche  is  long  only  in  bûche,  embûche,  débuche. 

Ve  is  always  long:  vûe,  tortûe,  etc. 

Uge  is  doubtful  :  déluge,  juge,  etc. 

Ule  is  long  only  in  brûle,  and  in  all  the  tenses  of 
brûler. 

Um,  un.  See  Aim.  This  nasal  vowel  has  no 
standard  in  English.  Its  sound  is  formed  by  lower¬ 
ing  the  inferior  part  of  the  mouth  somewhat  more 
than  for  the  pronunciation  of  u,  making  at  the  same 
time  the  opening  of  the  lips  more  circular,  and 
throwing  the  breath  against  the  interior  part  of 
the  roof  whilst  the  tongue  touches  lightly  the 
grinders  in  removing  a  little  from  the  fore-teeth  of 
the  inferior  jaw. 

Urnes  is  long  only  in  preterite  tenses:  parûmes, 
reçûmes,  etc. 

Ure  is  always  long:  injûre,  parjure,  etc. 

Usse,  usses,  ussent,  are  always  long,  except  in  la 
Prusse,  les  Russes. 

Ut  is  long  only  in  fût  (hogshead),  affût;  and  in 
the  preterite  of  the  subjunctive,  qu'il  fût,  etc. 

Ute  is  long  only  in  flûte,  and  in  preterite  tenses, 
lûtes,  parûtes,  etc. 

N.  B.  Few  of  these  rules  are  without  some  ex¬ 
ceptions.  These  exceptions,  together  with  the  pro¬ 
nunciation  of  the  proper  and  improper  diphthongs 
not  noticed  in  these  rules,  and  likewise  the  various 
articulations  of  consonants,  are  shown  in  the  similar 
spelling  of  their  respective  words. 

But  as  wTords  are  spelt  as  they  are  pronounced 
when  alone,  or  before  a  consonant,  we  shall  parti¬ 
cularly  notice  here  the  final  consonants  which  cease 
to  be  silent  w'hen  they  meet  a  word  beginning  with 
a  vowel. 


Directions  for  the  Articulation  of  the 
final  consonants  before  a  vowel  or  h 
mute. 

1st  General  Rule:  Final  consonants  are  to  be 
articulated  before  a  word  beginning  with  a  vowel 
or  h  mute.* 

2d  General  Rule:  All  final  consonants  that  are 
articulated  when  the  word  stands  alone,  or  before 
the  consonant  of  another  word,  preserve  the  same 
articulation  before  a  vowel.  The  exceptions  will 
be  remarked  in  the  following  observations. 

B  is  articulated  only  in  radoub,  and  proper  names, 
even  before  a  consonant. 


*  No  rule  is  more  frequently  cited,  and  yet  few 
have  more  exceptions,  even  in  public  speaking, 
wherein  it  ought  to  be  more  strictly  adhered  to. 
On  this  point,  harmony  must  be  first  attended  to. 
Whenever  the  connection  of  a  final  consonant  pro¬ 
duces  a  discordant  sound,  it  must  be  avoided;  for, 
as  M.  d’Olivet  has  very  properly  remarked,  “  the 
French  prefer  an  irregularity  to  a  discordance.” 

In  cases,  however,  where  a  disagreeable  sound 
is  not  the  consequence,  the  connection  should  take 
place,  even  in  conversation,  when  the  first  word 
determines,  qualifies,  or  modifies  the  second,  as  the 
article  before  its  noun;  the  adjective  or  pronoun 
before  its  substantive;  the  substantive  before  its 
adjective;  the  noun  or  pronoun  before  its  verb;  the 
verb  before  its  pronoun,  adverb,  object,  or  end;  the 
adverb  before  an  adjective  or  participle. 


C.  When  the  final  c  is  articulated,  it  has  the  arti 
culalion  of  a  k. 

It  is  always  silent  in  accroc,  arsenic,  broc,  colignac, 
marc  (weight  or  sediment),  estomac,  lacs  (love-knots)  ; 
in  the  last  syllable  of  succinct,  and  of  porc-épic  ;  and 
after  the  nasal  sounds,  as  banc,  coJivainc,  etc. 

However,  it  is  articulated  in  done  at  the  begin¬ 
ning  of  a  sentence  and  before  a  vowel  ;  also  in  franc- 
encens,  franc-alleu,  du  blanc  au  noir. 

D.  When  the  final  d  is  heard  before  a  vowel  or  h 
mute,  it  has  the  articulation  of  a  t. 

It  is  always  silent  in  sourd,  nid,  in  the  termina¬ 
tions  in  ond,  rond,  etc.,  and  after  an  r,  as  in  fuyard, 
accord,  etc. 

In  other  words  it  is  frequently  suppressed  in  con¬ 
versation. 

It  should  never  be  suppressed,  1st,  in  de  fond  en 
comble ;  2d,  after  quand,  before  il,  ils,  eux,  elles,  on, 
en,  a,  au,  aux  ;  3d,  after  adjectives  followed  by  their 
substantives  :  grand  homme,  grand  arbre,  etc.  ;  4th, 
after  the  third  person  of  verbs,  when  they  are  fol¬ 
lowed  by  their  pronoun  personal  or  the  preposition 
à  ;  répond-il  ?  il  entend  à  demi,  etc. 

F.  The  final /  is  generally  articulated  even  before 
a  consonant. 

It  is  silent,  even  before  a  vowel;  1st,  in  baillif, 
clef,  cerf;  2d,  in  chef  and  nerf  when  used  in  the 
following  expressions,  chef  d'œuvre,  nerf  de  bœuf, 
although  it  must  be  articulated  in  any  other  place; 
3d,  in  plural  nouns,  as  bœufs,  œufs,  etc.  ;  except  in 
chefs  and  corne  de  cerf,  wherein  it  is  always  articu¬ 
lated. 

G.  The  final  g,  when  it  is  not  silent,  has  the  arti¬ 
culation  of  a  k. 

It  is  articulated,  1st,  in  sang  and  rang  before  an 
adjective,  sang  échauffé,  rang  élevé,  etc.  ;  2d,  in  these 
or  similar  sentences,  suer  sang  et  eau,  de  rang  en 
rang,  etc.;  3d,  always  in  bourg. 

According  to  some,  it  is  also  heard  in  long  before 
a  substantive:  long  été,  etc.,  which  may  be  spelt 
lon-kété.  The  word  long  before  a  vowel  is  generally 
avoided,  or  theg-  suppressed  in  the  pronunciation. 

In  joug  some  pronounce  it  as  g  in  bag,  even  be¬ 
fore  a  consonant  ;  others  suppress  it  even  before  a 
vowel. 

H  seldom  is,  and  never  ought  to  be,  final  in 
French.  It  has  no  articulation. 

When  it  is  deemed  aspirate,  “  it  only  communi¬ 
cates  to  the  vowel  the  properties  of  a  consonant  ; 
that  is  to  say,  if  the  preceding  word  ends  with  a 
vowel,  that  vowel  is  never  suppressed;  if  it  ends 
with  a  consonant,  that  consonant  is  never  connected 
with  the  vowel  which  follows.  To  this  is  confined 
all  the  effect  of  the  aspirated  h.” — D' Olivet. 

This  pretended  aspiration,  so  different  from  that 
of  the  English,  is  nothing  else  than  the  hiatus  occa¬ 
sioned  by  the  meeting  of  two  vowels,  as  in  go  on, 
go  again. 

N.  B.  The  h  is  preserved  in  the  similar  spelling 
only  in  words  before  which  no  vowel  is  suppressed, 
and  with  which  no  consonant  is  connected. 

It  is  proper  to  notice  here  some  irregularities  of 
this  letter. 

In  conversation  or  prose  h  is  mute  in  Henri;  it 
may  be  aspirated  in  poetry. 

According  to  the  Academy,  it  is  better  to  aspirate 
it  in  hideux.  The  contrary  custom  still  prevails. 

It  is  aspirated  in  Hollande  and  Hongrie,  but  mute 
in  toile  or  fromage  d' Hollande,  reine  ox  point  d'Hon¬ 
grie. 

It  is  mute  in  huit  and  its  derivatives;  however, 
we  spell  and  pronounce  le  huit,  le  huitième,  la  hui¬ 
taine,  as  if  it  were  aspirated. 

Onze  and  its  derivatives,  and  oui  used  substan¬ 
tively,  produce  the  effects  of  the  aspirated  h.  The 
vowel  is  not  suppressed  before  these  words,  nor  any 
consonant  connected  with  them,  les  onze,  les  on¬ 
zièmes,  etc.,  le  oui  et  le  non,  tous  vos  oui,  etc.,  al¬ 
though  we  spell  and  pronounce  je  crois  qu'oui,  in¬ 
stead  of  je  crois  que  oui. 

L.  The  final  l  is  never  pronounced  i n  baril,  chenil

RULES  FOR  PRONUNCIATION. 


fusil,  gentil,  gril,  outil,  nombril,  persil,  soul,  sourcil, 
pouls,  fils,  cul.  But  gentil  in  gentilhomme,  and  gril 
in  verse,  take  the  liquid  articulation  of  gl  in  se¬ 
raglio. 

It  is  sometimes  familiarly  suppressed  in  quelque, 
quelquefois,  quelqu’un;  though  never  in  quel  and 
quelconque.  To  suppress  the  l  in  il  dit,  ils  ont  dit, 
parle-t-il  ?  would  be  to  imitate  a  pronunciation  in 
use  only  with  the  vulgar. 

M.  Chambaud  observes,  with  regard  to  this  last 
point,  that  the  l  cannot  be  silent  in  reading;  and 
that  it  would  be  better  to  pronounce  it  always,  to 
avoid  double  meanings.  Since  this  suppression  of 
the  l  may  occasion  ambiguity,  it  cannot  be  too  care¬ 
fully  avoided. 

M.  The  final  m  is  never  articulated  when  it 
makes  a  nasal  sound.  It  is  always  articulated  in 
hem!  item,  and  in  foreign  names,  Amsterdam,  etc. 
However  m  is  silent  in  Adam  and  Absalom,  which 
have  a  nasal  sound. 

N.  The  final  n,  when  it  makes  a  nasal  sound,  is 
articulated  before  a  vowel  only  in  the  following 
cases  : 

1st.  Adjectives  before  their  substantives,  and 
mon,  ton,  son,  rien,  un  and  bien  (adverb),  lose  their 
nasal  sound  in  connecting  their  n  with  a  following 
vowel,  as  certain  auteur,  bon  ami,  rien  au  monde,  un 
homme,  bien-aimé,  etc.,  pronounced  cer-té-no-leur, 
rié-no-monde,  bo-na-mi,  u-nom,  bié-né-mé. 

2d.  Benin  and  malin  ought  not  to  be  placed  be¬ 
fore  a  substantive,  except  malin  esprit,  wherein 
malin  preserves  its  nasal  sound,  and  a  second  n  is 
articulated  before  esprit,  malin-nesprit.  The  same 
may  be  said  of  divin  amour,  divin  évangile,  pro¬ 
nounced  divin-namour ,  divin-névangile. 

3d.  En  and  on  preserve  their  nasal  sound,  but  a 
second  n  is  articulated  before  a  vowel:  en  entrant, 
on  assure,  etc.,  pronounced  en-nen-tran,  on-na-sure. 
But  the  first  after  an  imperative  and  the  second 
after  its  verb,  are  never  connected:  par-lez-en  à 
votre  ami,  a-t-on  appris,  etc. 

P.  The  final  p  of  coup,  beaucoup  and  trop,  and  of 
the  words  that  have  it  articulated  before  a  conso¬ 
nant,  are  the  only  ones  heard  before  a  vowel. 

Q.  When  the  final  q  is  not  silent,  it  has  the  arti¬ 
culation  of  a  7c.  It  is  always  heard  in  cinq,  when 
alone  and  before  a  vowel  ;  also  in  coq. 

10 


R.  The  final  r  is  generally  articulated  before 
vowels,  at  least  in  reading. 

Except,  1st,  monsieur  and  messieurs,  though  it  be 
always  heard  in  le  sieur,  les  sieurs  ; 

2d,  The  plural  of  nouns  ending  in  er,  wherein 
the  s  alone  is  articulated  like  a  z  ; 

3d,  In  conversation  it  is  often  suppressed  before 
consonants,  as  in  notre,  votre,  quatre,  pronounced 
not,  vot,  quat  ;  but  never  in  notre  Père  qui  êtes  aux 
deux,  Notre-Dame,  quatre-vingts,  nor  at  the  end  of 
a  sentence  ; 

4th,  Sometimes  also  it  is  suppressed  in  conversa¬ 
tion  in  the  verbs  and  nouns  ending  in  er  ;  but  never 
in  proper  names,  words  derived  from  foreign  lan¬ 
guages,  nor  when  the  è  is  open  grave,  as  in  Jupiter, 
pater,  mer,  etc. 

5th,  Some  suppress  it  in  words  ending  in  ir  ;  but 
it  is  not  the  prevailing  custom. 

S.  The  final  s,  in  reading,  is  always  heard  before 
a  vowTel.  It  is  articulated  as  in  yes,  even  before  a 
consonant,  in  the  words  vis  and  cens  ;  and  in  the 
Latin  and  proper  names,  Pallas,  bolus,  etc. 

In  every  other  word,  before  a  vowel,  it  has  the 
articulation  of  a  z,  in  which  case  it  is  often  sup¬ 
pressed  in  conversation  ;  but  this  would  be  a  fault 
in  reading. 

T.  The  t  final  is  generally  articulated  before  a 
vowel;  except, 

1st,  When  it  is  preceded  by  another  consonant  : 
respect  humain,  effort  étonnant,  etc. 

2d,  In  quatre-vingt-un,  quatre-vingt-onze,  though 
it  be  articulated  in  vingt  et  un,  and  even  before 
consonants  in  the  following  numbers,  up  to  vingt- 
neuf  inclusively; 

3d,  In  all  plural  nouns,  and  in  et,  teint,  contrat, 
moût,  têt,  protêt,  puits  ; 

4th,  It  is  silent  in  fort  (adjective),  fort  et  grand , 
but  articulated  i nfort  (adverb),  fort  aimable. 

X.  The  final  x  is  always  articulated,  1st,  like  ks 
in  Greek  and  Latin  words:  Styx,  préfix,  in  the 
word  Cadix;  like  z  in  Aix  ;  like  double  s  in  Aix- 
la-Chapelle;  and  like  gz  when  followed  by  a  vowel, 
as  in  exercice,  exempt:  egzereice,  egzempt. 

Z  is  silent  before  a  vowel  only  in  the  word  nez  ; 
it  is  frequently  suppressed  at  the  end  of  other  words 
in  conversation;  but  these  and  similar  licenses, 
though  tolerated,  can  never  be  enforced  as  rules.

PRONUNCIATION 


OF 

THE  TERMINATIONS  OF  THE  FRENCH  VERBS. 


At  ending  the  preterite  and  the  future  is  sounded 
like  e.  Ex.  :  J aimai,  je  donnerai. 

Ais,  ait,  aient,  ending  the  imperfect  and  conditional 
present,  are  sounded  like  è.  Ex.:  J’avais,  j’aurais. 
Er, ending  a  verb, before  a  consonant  is  sounded  like  e 
Ez,  ending  the  second  person  plural,  is  sounded 
like  é.  Ex.  :  ayez. 


R  is  the  only  consonant  to  be  sounded  at  the  end  of 
verbs.  ThereJore  do  not  sound  c,  cs,  ds,  ps,  t,  x,  in 
vainc,  vaincs,  prends,  romps,  as,  bats,  peux,  veux,  vaux, 
etc.  ;  sound  r  in  avoir,  punir,  voir,  sers,  sert,  perd,  offert, 
sort,  meurs,  meurt,  etc.  But  r  is  not  to  be  sounded  in 
er  ending  the  verbs  of  the  first  conjugation.  Ex.:  don¬ 
ner,  parler,  etc.:  er  in  this  case  is  sounded  like  è. 


REMARKS  ON  THE  FRENCH  VERBS. 

»  , 


The  French  verbs  are  generally  divided  into  four 
conjugations:  those  ending  in  er  belong  to  the  first; 
those  in  ir  to  the  second  ;  those  in  oir  to  the  third  ; 
those  in  re  to  the  fourth.  They  are  either  regular  or 
irregular,  and  the  three  preceding  pages  show  how 
they  are  conjugated  in  all  their  forms. 

Ant  is  the  termination  of  the  present  participle  with¬ 
out  any  exception.  Ex.:  ayant. 

The  imperfect  tense  of  the  indicative  mood  always 
ends  in  ais,  ais,  ait,  ions,  iez,  aient  ;  it  is  conjugated  like 
je  donnais,  and  is  generally  formed  by  changing  ant 
of  the  present  participle  into  ais,  etc.,  as,  donnant,  je 
donnais,  etc. 

The  preterite  of  the  indicative  ends  in  four  different 
ways:  1st,  in  ai,  as,  a,  âmes,  ales,  brent,  as  ye  donnai, 
etc.,  Verb  3;  2d,  is,  is,  it,  imes,  îles,  irent,  as  je  punis, 
etc.,  verb  4;  3d,  in  us,  us,  ut,  urnes,  utes,  urent,  as  je 
reçus,  etc.,  verb  5;  4th,  in  ins,  ins,  int,  znmes,  intes , 
inrent,  as  je  tins,  tu  tins,  il  tint,  nous  tînmes,  vous 
tîntes,  ils  tinrent,  verb  21. 

The  future  always  ends  in  rai,  ras,  ra,  rons,  rez, 
ronl,  is  conjugated  like  je  donnerai,  and  is  generally 
formed  by  changing  the  terminations  r,  oir,  and  re  of 
the  present  infinitive,  into  rai,  etc.  Ex.  :  donner,  don¬ 
nerai,  punir,  punirai,  devoir,  devrai,  vendre,  vendrai. 

The  conditional  present  always  ends  in  rais,  rais, 
rail,  rions,  riez,  raient,  is  conjugated  likeye  donnerais, 
and  has  its  first  person  formed  by  adding  s  to  rai  of  the 
future. 

In  the  imperative  mood,  present  tense,  the  second 
person  singular,  the  first  and  second  persons  plural  are 
like  the  same  persons  of  the  indicative  mood,  present 
tense,  except  in  the  verbs  avoir,  to  have,  être,  to  be, 
and  savoir,  to  know,  which  has  sache,  sachons,  sachez. 
Tiie  third  persons,  singular  and  plural,  of  this  tense, 
are  like  the  same  persons  of  the  subjunctive  mood, 
present  tense.  Ex.:  qu’il  ail,  qu’ils  aient.  Those  verbs 
which  have  es  at  the  end  of  the  second  person  singu¬ 
lar  of  the  indicative  mood  and  the  verb  aller,  lose 
the  final  s  in  the  same  person  of  the  imperative,  ex¬ 
cept  before  y  and  en.  Ex.  :  donne,  donnes-en,  cueille, 
cueilles-en,  va,  vas-y,  etc. 

14 


The  present  of  the  subjunctive  mood  ends  in  e,  es, 
e,  ions,  iez,  ent,  except  only  in  avoir  and  être,  and  is 
conjugated  like  que  je  donne,  etc.,  verb  3.  The  verbs 
of  which  the  first  person  is  printed  in  italics  in  the 
present  of  the  subjunctive,  have  in  the  first  and 
second  persons  plural  irregularities,  which  are  shown 
in  the  last  column  of  page  13.  The  first  person  sin¬ 
gular  of  this  tense  may  generally  be  obtained  by 
changing  ant  of  the  present  participle  into  e. 

The  imperfect  tense  of  the  subjunctive  mood  always 
ends  in  sse,  sses,  t,  ssioiis,  ssiez,  ssent,  and  is  conju¬ 
gated  like  que  je  donnasse,  verb  3;  its  first  person  can 
always  be  obtained  by  changing  the  last  letter  of  the 
preterite  of  the  indicative  into  sse.  Ex.  :  donnai,  don¬ 
nasse,  punis,  punisse,  etc. 

The  preceding  remarks  show  that  the  first  person 
singular  of  the  imperfect  indicative,  preterite,  future, 
conditional  present,  present  and  imperfect  of  the  sub¬ 
junctive  mood  being  once  known,  the  other  persons 
of  the  same  tenses  may  most  easily  be  obtained. 

IRREGULARITIES. 

In  the  verbs  ending  in  eler,  conjugated  like  ap¬ 
peler,  verb  73,  the  l  is  doubled  before  e  mute,  that 
is  to  say,  before  e,  es,  ent,  final,  and  in  the  whole 
of  the  future  and  conditional  present.  In  the  verbs 
ending  in  eter,  conjugated  like  jeter,  verb  75,  the  t 
is  doubled  before  e  mute.  In  the  verbs  conjugated 
like  peler,  verb  74,  acheter ,  verb  76,  espérer,  verb 

77,  the  e  or  c  of  the  penultimate  syllable  becomes 
c  before  e  mute,  that  is  to  say,  before  c,  es,  ent,  final, 
and  in  the  whole  of  the  future  and  conditional  pre¬ 
sent.  In  the  verbs  ending  in  ger  the  g  must  preserve 
its  soft  sound,  for  this  reason,  the  e  is  not  dropped 
before  a,  o.  Ex.  :  manger,  verb  79,  mangeant,  man¬ 
geons.  Those  verbs  which  end  in  yer,  in  the  infinitive 
mood,  present  tense,  or  in  yant,  in  the  present  partici¬ 
ple,  change  the  y  into  i  before  e  mute.  Ex.:  essayer, 
verb  80,  essaie,  fuyant,  que  je  fuie,  ayant,  aie.  When 
c  soft  occurs  in  a  verb  in  the  infinitive  mood,  it  must 
preserve  the  sound  of  s  through  the  verb,  and  take, 
therefore  a  cedilla  before  a,  o,  u.  Ex.:  avancer,  verb 

78,  avançant,  recevoir,  reçu,  reçois.

DICTIONNAIRE  FRANÇAIS  ET  ANGLAIS. 


bàr,  bàt,  base,  antique:  thère,  êbb,  ovêr,  jeûne,  mêute,  bêurre,  lién:  field,  fîg,  vin:  rôbe,

As  m.  an  A.  Il  ne  sait  ni  a  ni 
,  b,  he  does  not  know  a  from  b. 
n  n’en  a  pas  fait  une  panse  d’a, 
he  has  done  nothing  of  his  work 
as  yet.  E  n’y  a  pas  fait  une 
panse  d’a,  he  has  had  no  hand 
in  it.  Etre  marqué  à  Va,  to  be 
a  man  of  honour.  When  A 
means  the  letter  a,  or  when  it 
is  the  third  person  of  the  verb 
avoir,  to  have,  it  takes  no  ac¬ 
cent.  In  all  other  cases  and  sig¬ 
nifications  it  takes  the  grave  ac¬ 
cent  thus,  à. 

A  a,  has.  II  a,  he  has.  Il  y  a,  there 
is,  there  are.  Il  y  a  un  homme,

À,  prep,  marks  so  many  different

the  book  ;  à  la,  are  never  contract¬ 
ed  :  à  la  femme,  to  the  woman  ;  but

s.  m.  (gram.)  adjective. 

[In  French,  the  pronominal  ad¬ 
jective  uniformly  precedes  the 
noun,  with  the  exception  of  quel¬ 
conque  :  une  raison  quelconque,  any 
reason  whatever,  any  one  reason. 
Aucun  occasionally  forms  an  ex¬ 
ception,  but  then  usually  in  the 
sense  of  quelconque.  See  Aucun. 
The  numeral  adjective  generally 
precedes  its  noun,  except  in  cases 
of  quotation  :  le  premier  livre, 
livre  premier,  book  first.  The 
numeral  adjective  uniformly  fol¬ 
lows  proper  names  :  Charles  douze, 
Francois  premier,  Charles  the 
Twelfth,  Francis  the  First. 

Verbal  adj  formed  from  the 
pres.  part,  generally  follow  the 
noun  :  une  personne  séduisante,  un 
livre  attachant,  un  esprit  rampant  ; 
except  riant,  charmant:  une  riante 
campagne,  un  charmard  ouvrage. 
Participial  adjectives  follow  their 
.  noun  :  un  objet  aimé,  un  prince 
redouté,  un  secours  assuré 

Adjectives  which  express  gene¬ 
ral  qualities  originating  in  the  na¬ 
ture  of  the  things  themselves  ge¬ 
nerally  precede  the  nouns  they 
qualify,  when  the  intention  of  the 
speaker  is  to  identify  them  with 
the  persons  or  things  in  question  : 
un  bon  homme,  un  méchant  homme, 
une  grande  maiso?i,  une  grosse 
femme,  une  petite  fille.  Thus  we 
say  honnête  homme  of  one  who 
possesses  all  the  solid  qualities 
constituting  an  estimable  charac¬ 
ter,  and  homme  honnête  (a  civil 
man)  of  him  who  seems  anxious 
to  please  by  his  politeness.  Upon 
the  same  principle  we  say  un  ga¬ 
lant  homme  in  much  the  same  sense 
as  honnête  homme,  and  homme  ga¬ 
lant  pretty  nearly  as  homme  hon¬ 
nête,  with  this  exception,  that  the 
civilities  of  the  former  are  ad¬ 
dressed  to  the  fair. 

In  the  language  of  passion  the 
adjective  generally  precedes  the 
noun  :  un  aimable  objet,  un  tendre 
amour,  de  tendres  regards,  un  ado¬ 
rable  objet  ;  un  méchant  homme,  un 
abominable  homme.  The  case  is 
the  same  in  the  language  of  admi¬ 
ration:  un  superbe  jardin,  un  ma¬ 
gnifique  tableau.  In  the  language 


of  pity:  il  est  dans  une  extrême 
misère.  Il  est  dans  une  misère  ex¬ 
trême  would  merely  intimate  that 
his  distress  is  great,  without  infer¬ 
ring  any  intention  on  the  part  of 
the  speaker  to  interest  others  in 
that  distress. 

With  adjectives  which  some¬ 
times  precede  and  sometimes  fol¬ 
low  the  noun,  there  must  be  some 
analogy  between  the  adjective 
and  the  noun  to  admit  of  the  for¬ 
mer  construction  :  thus  we  cannot 
say  un sagehomme,  because  homme 
does  not  necessarily  infer  any  idea 
of  sageness  or  wisdom  ;  though  we 
can  say  un  sage  magistrat,  both 
upon  a  principle  of  analogy  and 
harmony.  Thus  adjectives  ex¬ 
pressing  a  quality  natural  to  the 
noun  or  subject  may  be  placed 
before  it  :  bon  vin,  bon  pain,  mau¬ 
vais  vin,  grand  arbre,  petit  arbre, 
excellent  fruit.  Those  again  which 
express  an  accidental  quality,  ge¬ 
nerally  follow  the  noun  :  pain  bis 
(brown  bread),  pain  blanc,  viande 
dure,  etc.  If  another  adjective  or 
any  additional  circumstance  ac¬ 
company  the  first  class  of  adjec¬ 
tives,  then  both  generally  follow 
the  noun  :  une  bette  ville  ;  une  ville 
belle  et  grande  ;  du  bon  pain,  du 
pain  bon  et  bien  cuit  ;  un  brave 
soldat,  un  soldat  brave  et  intrépide. 
If,  however,  both  adjectives  are 
equally  in  harmony  with  the  idea 
expressed  by  the  noun,  then  both 
may  precede  it  ;  thus  we  can  say . 
un  brave  et  intrépide  soldat;  un 
illustre  et  grave  auteur  ;  though  we 
cannot  say  un  illustre  et  classique 
auteur,  because  classique  bears  no 
necessary  affinity,  nor  is  it  neces¬ 
sarily  in  harmony  with  the  noun, 
in  as  much  as  it  alludes  rather  to 
a  class  than  to  an  individual. 

Such  adjectives  then  as  denote 
the  impression  made  on  us  by  ex¬ 
ternal  objects  never  precede  the 
noun  :  dru  pain  blanc,  d-u  drap 
rouge,  du  drap  bleu,  une  surface 
unie,  raboteuse,  dure,  molle,  etc.  ; 
un  son  aigre,  une  odeur  forte, 
douce,  suave.  We  say  figuratively: 
une  noire  trahison,  un  noir  attentat, 
etc.  but  here  the  adjective  does  not 
merely  convey  an  idea  of  colour. 

Such  adjectives  as  express  the 
form  of  objects  never  precede  the 
noun  :  rond,,  carré,  octogone,  con¬ 
vexe,  concave.  Such  adjectives  as 
perform  the  part  of  substantives 
never  precede  the  noun:  palais 
royal  (d’un  roi), pompe  royale  (d’ un 
roi),  tendresse  paternelle  (d’un 
père),  principe  grammatical  (de 
grammaire)  We  say  bonté  divine, 
or  divine  bonté,  because  the  quali¬ 
ty  of  goodness  is  in  harmony  with 
the  nature  of  the  Divinity. 

Adjectives  expressing  the  poinj 
of  view  in  which  we  consider 
things  or  persons,  never  precede 
the  noun:  une  chose  nécessaire, 
possible,  impossible  ;  une  idée  abu¬ 
sive,  absurde  ;  un  homme  dange¬ 
reux,  une  mala  die  mortelle.  Mortel 
is  frequently  put  before  the  noun,

but  generally  in  the  sense  of 
tedious,  wearisome  :  trois  mor¬ 
telles  lieues. 

Such  adjectives  as  express  the 
state  or  situation  of  persons  and 
things,  those  also  which  refer  to 
habits,  never  precede  the  noun  : 
un  homme  tranquille,  calme  ;  un 
homme  oisif,  contemplatif ;  un 
homme  ivre  ;  une  vie  tranquille  ; 
un  homme  vif,  indolent,  colère,  en¬ 
têté,  etc.  ;  du  drap  mince,  du  drap 
épais  ;  un  bois  clair,  un  charbon 
ardent.  Such  as  express  outward 
or  accidentai  modification,  also 
follow  the  noun  :  un  homme  aveu¬ 
gle,  borgne,  bossu,  etc.  ;  du  bois 
tordu  ;  une  bouteille  étoilée  ;  un 
bâton  noueux, pointu.  And  in  short, 
such  adjectives  as  merely  distin¬ 
guish  objects  by*  genus,  species, 
sort:  un  animal  raisonnable ;  un 
homme  blanc,  noir,  olivâtre  ;  un 
arbre  fruitier,  un  arbre  sauvage  ;

française,  anglaise,  allemande  ; 
méthode  latine  ;  accent  gascon,  nor¬

cession  of  evolutions,  of  move¬ 
ments  throughout  the  whole  year. 
We  say  :  la  premiere  année,  la  se¬ 
conde  année,  meaning  a  succession 
of  years  as  regards  the  effects  pro¬ 
duced  within  that  series  or  suc¬ 
cession  of  years,  and  Van  quinzi¬ 
ème,  Van  1805,  Van  1835,  as  epochs 
or  eras  of  time.  We  also  say:  cette 
année,  and  not  cet  an,  because  the 
year  is  not  yet  elapsed.  For  the 
same  reason  we  say  l’année,  and 
not  Van  commence  bien  ;  Vannée, 
and  not  Van  finit  bien.  Le  premier

that  we  cannot  say  le  dernier  jour

teenth.  F  or  this  reason  we  say  : 
souhaiter  la  bonne  année,  to  wish 
a  good  new  year.  Bon  jour,  bon 
an,  must  be  considered  as  a  popu¬ 
lar  locution.  An  presenting  an 
aggregate,  or  a  point  of  time,  can 
never  be  accompanied  by  an  epi¬

mauvais  an,  bel  an,  but  une  bonne, 
une  mauvaise,  une  belle  année,  une

CE,  Cet,  Cette,  pi.  Ces,  sd,  set,

fore  nouns  masculine  sing,  be¬ 
ginning  with  a  consonant  or  h 
aspirate)  :  Ce  livre,  this  or  that 
book  ;  (Cet  is  used  before  nouns 
masc.  sing,  beginning  with  a 
vowel  or  h  mute  :)  Cet  arbre,  this 
or  that  tree;  (Cette  is  used  before 
nouns  feminine  singular, whether 
they  begin  with  a  consonant  or  a 
vowel,  whether  with  an  h  aspi¬ 
rate  or  mute)  :  Cette  femme,  this 
or  that  woman  ;  (N.B.  Cette,  ex¬ 
cept  in  low  language,  is  never 
pronounced  s’te,  but  cette).  Ces 
is  used  before  nouns  plural, 
either  masc.  or  fern.,  with  what¬ 
ever  letter  they  may  begin)  ;  ces 
femmes,  these  or  those  women; 
(N.B.  the  above  rules  hold  good 
when  an  adjective  is  inserted 
between  the  article  and  the  sub¬ 
stantive;  then  regard  is  paid  to 
the  initial  letter  of  the  adjective.) 
Cet  étrange  livre,  that  strange 
book;  ce  bel  homme,  that  fine 
man.  (To  the  substantive  modi¬ 
fied  by  ce,  the  partie  Je  ci  is  some¬ 
times  added  to  designate  some¬ 
thing  near  ;  and  the  particle  là, 
to  designate  something  distant  ; 
which  answers  to  this  and  that, 
these  and  those)  :  Ce  livre-ci,  this 
book  ;  ce  livre-là,  that  book  ;  ces 
hommes-ci,  these  men  ;  ces  fem- 
mes-là,  those  women.  (N.B.  Ce, 
in  the  above  capacity,  is  called 
by  most  grammarians  a  demon¬ 
strative  pronoun  adjective  ;  but 
as  it  bears  all  the  characters  of 
the  article,  and  some  of  the  ad¬ 
jective,  the  denomination  of  ar¬ 
ticle  has  been  preferred.  The 
demonstrative  article  ce,  etc.,  can 
modify  substantives  only  orwords 
taken  substantively;  sometimes 
the  modified  substantive  relates 
to  another  substantive  expressed 
before,  from  which  it  must  not 
be  too  distant,  lest  some  ambi¬ 
guity  should  arise)  :  (Sometimes 
the  substantive  which  ce  modi¬ 
fies,  is  used  by  opposition):  Je

l’ai  envoyée  à  votre  ami,  cette  aim¬ 
able  et  tendre  lettre, that  sweet  and 
charming  letter,  I  have  sent  it  to 
your  friend.  (The  above  article 
ce,  may  do  for  either  the  present, 
past,  or  future  time,  and  is  ren¬ 
dered  in  English  accordingly, 
the  tense  of  the  verb  showing 
how  to  render  it):  R  y  a  cette 
nuit,  this  night  or  to-night  there 
is. 

1.  Ce  [pronom  démonst.  indécl .] 
he,  she,  it,  they.  (The  final  e  of 
ce  is  cut  off  before  a  vowel,  and 
supplied  by  an  apostrophe,  c\ ) 
C’est  un  bon  ami,  he  is  a  good 
friend.  (The  verb  être  thus  con¬ 
strued  with  ce  is  always  used  in 
the  third  person,  and  chiefly  the 
singular,  though  the  following 
noun  or  pronoun  be  plural  ; 
sometimes  the  third  person  plu¬ 
ral  is  used,  but  of  the  simple 
tenses  only;  and  even  the  sin-  j 
guiar  of  the  imperfect  and  con¬ 
ditional  is  to  be  preferred  when 
eux  or  elles  follows)  :  ce  sont  de 
grands  poètes,  they  are  great 
poets.  (But  when  no  substan¬ 
tive  follows  the  verb  être,  a  pro¬ 
noun  personal  must  be  used  in¬ 
stead  of  ce)  :  They  are  very  elo¬ 
quent,  ils  sont  très-éloquents  (not 
ce  sont)  ;  he  is  a  physician,  c’est 
un  médecin ;  ( or  adjectively),  il 
est  médecin.  V.  No.  5. 

2.  Ce,  it,  that.  C'est  fait,  it  is 
done.  Ce  me  semble,  methinks. 
C’est  vrai  cela,  very  true  !  indeed. 
Ce  :  C’est  fait  de  moi,  I  am  lost. 
(Sometimes  the  relative  en  is 
placed  between  ce  and  être)  : 
C’en  est  fait,  ’lis  past  recovery. 
C’en  est  resté  là,  there  the  affair 
dropped.  C’est  bien  fait  à  lui, 
he  is  very  right.  Ce  dit-on  ;  ce 
dit-il  (style  marotique),  it  is  said  ; 
said  he.  Et  ce,  and  this.  En  ce, 
in  that.  Outre  ce,  besides  this. 
Pour  ce  faire,  in  order  to  ac¬ 
complish  it.  Lettres  à  ce  con¬ 
traires,  (jur.)  letters  contrary  to 
this. 

3.  Ce,  he,  she,  they,  it,  that. 
Qui  est-ce  ?  who  is  he  ?  Qui 
était-ce  ?  who  was  it  ?  Est-ce 
moi.  ?  is  it  I  ?  (With  a  substan¬ 
tive,  the  plural  of  the  present 
and  future  may  be  used)  :  Sont-ce 
les  Anglais  ?  is  it  the  English? 
Seront-ce  les  Français  ?  will  it  be 
the  French  ?  (When  a  question 
is  made  with  ce,  it  must  be  an¬ 
swered  with  ce  likewise)  :  C’est 
moi,  it  is  I.  C’est  eux  qui  Vont 
fait,  it  is  they  have  done  it.  Sont- 
ce  là  les  dames  que  vous  attendiez  ? 
(là  is  a  mere  expletive,  inserted 
only  to  facilitate  pronunciation, 
sont-ce  alone  would  be  too  harsh), 
are  these  the  ladies  you  expect¬ 
ed  ?  Oui,  ce  sont  elles,  yes,  they 
are.  Est-ce  un  clocher  l  is  it  a  | 
steeple  ?  Oui,  c’en  est  un,  yes,  it 
is  one.  Sont-ce  là  vos  chevaux  I 
are  these  your  horses?  Oui,  ce 
les  sont ,  yes,  they  are. 

4.  Ce,  that,  which,  what.  (Ce 
is  never  combined  with  the  pro- 

162 


nou  n  lequel):  A  ce  qu’  il  me  semble, 
as  I  think.  En  vertu  de  ce  que 
dessus, (fur.)  in  virtue  of  what  nas 
been  stipulated  before  or  above. 
N.B .  F ormerly  ce  in  ce  qui  was  left 
out;  hence  this  locution  still  in 
use:  Qui  pis  est.  F.  Pis.  Ce  que 
requires  the  preposition  de  before 
an  adjective.  Ce  que  j'ai  vu  de 
beau,  the  fine  things  I  saw. 

5.  Ce  qui  or  ce  que  serves  for 
two  verbs,  the  latter  of  which, 
when  ce  begins  the  sentence,  is 
governed  by  ce  :  now,  if  that  lat¬ 
ter  verb  is  être,  followed  by  que 
or  de,  ce  must  be  repeated  before 
it  :  Ce  que  je  crains,  c’est  d’être 
surpris,  what  I  fear  is  to  be  sur¬ 
prised.  (The  repetition  of  ce 
may  likewise  take  place,  when 
a  substantive  follows  être):  Ce 
qu’il  demande,  c’est  une  pension, 
what  he  asks  for  is  a  pension. 
(But  ce  cannot  be  repeated,  when 
être  is  followed  by  an  adjective)  : 
Ce  qu’on  vous  a  ait  est  vrai,  what 
you  have  been  told  is  true. 
Whereas  we  say  :  ce  qu’on  vous 
a  dit,  ce  soxit  des  contes,  what  you 
have  been  told  is  a  mere  story. 
(The  reason  of  this  difference  is 
obvious  ;  in  the  first  sentence  ce 
is  the  subject,  and  vrai  the  attri¬ 
bute;  in  the  second,  ce  is  the  at¬ 
tribute,  and  contes  the  subject.) 
(For  that  very  reason  être,  in 
c’est,  etc.,  may  be  plural,  when 
followed  by  a  noun  plural.  V.  No. 
1.)  (N.B.  That  repetition  of  ce 
forms  a  gallicism,  which  gives 
the  language  a  peculiar  degree 
of  energy.  The  meaning  of  the 
above  sentence  is  simply  this  : 
je  crains  d'être  surpris  ;  c’est  une 
pension  qu’il  demande  ;  ce  sont 
des  contes  que  l’on  vous  a  dits  ; 
and  still  more  simply  for  the  two 
last  :  iZ  demande  une  pension  ;  on 
vous  a  dit  des  contes  ;  but  they 
would  not  be  so  energetically 
expressed.)  In  such  sentences 
as  the  above,  the  tense  of  the 
first  verb  regulates  the  tense  of 
c’est,  as:  Ce  qu’il  demandait, 
c’était  une  pension.  But,  what  is 
worth  observing,  in  interroga¬ 
tions,  c'est,  followed  by  another 
verb,  remains  in  the  present: 
Qu’ est-ce  qu’il  demandait  ?  qu’est 
ce  qu’il  demandera  ?  and  the  an¬ 
swer  may  be  :  C’est  or  c’était  une 
pension  ;  c’est  or  ce  sera  une  pen¬ 
sion.  (Ce  may  sometimes  be 
separated  from  que):  Qu’est-ce 
donc,  selon  vous,  qu'un  ministre 
patriote  ?  what  do  you  understand 
then  by  a  patriotic  minister?  (In 
interrogations,  c’est  is  sometimes 
redoubled  ;  but  the  first  still  re¬ 
mains  in  the  present  because  it 
relates  to  the  person  actually 
speaking)  :  Qu’ est-ce  que  c’est  ? 
what  is  it?  Qu’ est-ce  que  c’était ? 
what  was  it?  Qu’ est-ce  que  c’est 
qu’il  demande  ?  what  does  he  ask 
for?  Qu’ est-ce  que  c’était  qu’il  de¬ 
mandait ?  what  did  he  ask  for? 

6.  C’est,  in  all  its  tenses,  viz. 
c’était,  c’a  été,  ce  sera,  ce  serait, 


etc.  separated  irom,  though  still 
followed  by  que,  forms  another 
energetic  gallicism,  referring  to 
a  person  or  thing  not  yet  men¬ 
tioned,  but  announced  by  setting 
forth  some  of  its  qualities  or  pro¬ 
perties  :  C’était  un  grand  capi¬ 
taine  que  César,  Cæsar  was  a 
great  captain.  (But  when  the 
thing  to  be  mentioned,  and  con¬ 
ducted  to  by  que,  is  expressed  by 
a  verb  in  the  infinitive,  the  pre¬ 
position  de  is  required  before  that 
infinitive):  C’est  une  sorte  de 
honte  que  d’être  malheureux,  it  is 
a  kind  of  shame  to  be  unfortu¬ 
nate.  (N.B.  Que  in  this  capacity 
is  by  some  grammarians  called 
conductive;  it  may  sometimes 
be  dispensed  with  in  poetry,  but 
ought  never  to  be  omitted  in 
prose.)  To  form  the  above  galli¬ 
cism, the  relative  qui  is  sometimes 
used,  performing  the  same  office 
as  que,  i.  e.  being  likewise  con¬ 
ductive  :  Ce  fut  l'orgueil  quiper- 
dit  les  anges  rebelles,  il  was  pride 
that  ruined  the  rebellious  angels. 
(The  relative  after  c’est  governs 
the  next  verb  in  the  indicative, 
whether  the  sentence  be  affir¬ 
mative  or  negative)  :  C’est  moi 
qu’on  veut  perdre  ;  I  am  the  man 
they  wish  to  ruin.  (The  subjunc¬ 
tive,  however,  is  not  altogether 
improper,  when  the  sentence 
implies  something  conditional, 
doubtful  or  superlative):  C’est 
ici  le  principal  but  qu’on  doive 
se  proposer,  this  is  the  principal 
end  that  ought  to  be  aimed  at. 
(In  sentences  like  the  following, 
que,  though  apparently  conduc¬ 
tive,  may  be  resolved  by  the  re¬ 
lative)  :  C’est  à  vous  que  je  parle, 
’tis  to  you  I  speak.  C’est  de  leur 
état  qu’il  s’agit  maintenant,  ’tis 
their  condition  that  is  now  treat¬ 
ed  of  C’est  là  que  je  les  attends, 
there  I  shall  have  them.  (In  such 
sentences,  que  stands  for  à  qui, 
dont,  où,  etc.  ;  and  the  preposi¬ 
tions  which  would  have  govern¬ 
ed  those  relatives,  are  prefixed 
to  their  respective  antecedents.) 
The  verbs  pouvoir  and  devoir, 
in  all  their  tenses,  may  likewise 
be  construed  with  ce,  but  still 
immediately  followed  by  the  in¬ 
finitive  être  :  Ce  doit  être  un  tour¬ 
ment  affreux  que  le  souvenir  d’un 
crime,  the  remembrance  of  a 
crime  must  be  a  dreadful  tor¬ 
ment.  Ce  pouvait  être  lui,  he

7.  C’est  generally  requires  an  ar 
tide  before  the  next  substantive, 
proper  names  of  persons  and 
places  excepted  :  C’est  un  bon¬ 
heur  que  d’avoir  échappé,  ’tis  good 
luck  to  have  escaped.  (But  when 
the  substantive  pointed  out  by 
c’est  expresses  a  sentiment  or  a 
passion  of  the  mind,  no  article  is 
required  before  it:)  C’est  folie 
que  de  sacrifier,  <ÿc.,  it  is  a  folly 
to  sacrifice,  &c. 

8.  C’est  sometimes  requires  the 
preposition  à  before  a  noun  oi

à  lui  d.  jouer,  it  is  his  turn  to 
play.  C'était  à  vous  de  parler, 
you  ought  to  have  spoken.  (Some¬ 
times  the  verb  comes  before  the

your  business.  (Sometimes  there

(When  the  sentence  implies  af¬ 
firmation,  the  verb  governed  by

l’amour  de  Mortimer  n'eût  éclaté

der  of  construction  must  be  used 
after  this  conjunction,  as  has 
been  used  before  it,  viz.  articles, 
prepositions,  etc.  must  be  repeat¬

c’est-à-dire  qu'à  faire  bonne  chère, 
his  chief  care  was  to  live  well, 
that  is,  to  make  good  cheer.

preceding  verb,  c'est-à-dire  still 
remains  in  the  present  ;  in  inter¬ 
rogations,  however,  the  condi¬

(This  pronoun,  not  being  a  mere 
personal,  cannot  stand  for  a  pro¬ 
per  name  ;  neither  can  it  be  used 
absolutely,  but  must  refer  to  a 
common  substantive  expressed 
before  or  after,  from  which  it 
should  not  be  too  distant;  it  must 
besides  (having  of  itself  a  vague 
signification)  be  always  imme¬ 
diately  followed  by  a  regimen 
like  that  of  the  substantive  it  re¬ 
lates  to,  or  by  the  relative  qui 
(who,  that,  which)  beginning  an 
incident  clause).  Ses  regards 
n'étaient  pas  ceux  d’un  juge  sé¬ 
vère,  his  looks  were  not  those  of 
a  severe  judge.  (The  substan¬ 
tive  to  which  celui  relates,  and 
the  substantive  governed  by 
celui,  must  both  be  pointed  out 
by  an  article).  Ayez  de  vos 
affaires  le  soin  que  vous  devez  en 
avoir,  et  laissez  aux  ministres  ce¬ 
lui  de  régler  l’État,  take  proper 
care  of  your  own  affairs,  and 
leave  ministers  to  manage  those 
of  the  state.  (Whereas  celui  could 
not  supply  soin  in  this  sentence  : 
ayez  soin  de  vos  affaires,  le  soin 


should  be  used  instead  of  it. 
(Like  the  other  pronouns,  celui 
is  not  allowed  to  be  modified  by 
an  adjective)  :  Le  goût  de  la  phi¬ 
losophie  n'était  pas  alors  le  goût 
dominant  (not  celui  dominant),  a 
taste  for  philosophy  was  not  at 
that  time  the  prevailing  taste. 
Celui  said  of  persons,  may  some¬ 
times  be  used  indefinitely,  that 
is  with  no  relation  at  all  to  any 
substantive. — Ceux  qui  ont  vécu 
avant  nous,  those  who  lived  be¬ 
fore  us.  Celui  is  sometimes  left 
out,  as  :  qui  répond  paie,  the  bail 
must  pay.  V.  Qui.  Celui-ci, 
celle-ci;  pl.  ceux-ci,  celles- 
ci,  pron.  dem.  this,  these.  Celui- 

là,  CELLE-LÀ  ;  pl.  CEUX-LÀ,  CEL¬ 
LES-LÀ,  pron.  demon,  that,  those. 
Celui-là  n'est  pas  si  beau,  that  is 
not  so  fine.  Celui-ci  relates  to 
an  object  near  the  speaker;  celui- 
là,  to  an  object  distant  from  him  : 
or  after  two  nouns  already  ex¬ 
pressed,  celui-ci  refers  to  the  last, 
celui-là  to  the  first  mentioned. 
(These  pronouns,  by  virtue  of  the 
particles  ci  and  là  annexed  to 
them,  have  a  determined  signi¬ 
fication,  consequently  require  no 
regimen,  and  even  refuse  to  be 
immediately  followed  by  qui: 
celui-là,  however,  admits  it,  but 
with  some  words  between)  :  Ce¬ 
lui-là  est  heureux  qui  ne  désire 
rien,  he  is  happy  who  has  no 
desires.  (Yet  both  celui-ci  and 
celui-là  sometimes  admit  the  re¬ 
lative  qui,  when  it  begins  an  in¬ 
cidental  clause  forming,  as  it 
were,  a  parenthesis,  or  pointing 
out  contrast,  distinction)  :  Celui- 
ci,  qui  est  déjà  usé,  vaut  mieux 
que  celui-là  qui  est  tout  neuf,  this, 
though  already  worn,  is  better 
than  that  which  is  quite  new. 
Celui-là  in  the  familiar  style, 
is  sometimes  used  for  cela.  Pour 
celui-là,  ils  auraient  tort,  as  for 
that,  they  would  be  wrong.

CHACUN,  E,shâ-Aun,  hùn,pron. 
distributif,  everyone,  each.  This 
pronoun  has  no  plural,  and  can¬ 
not  refer  to  a  noun  singular.  (N. 
B.  Chacun,  said  of  persons,  may 
be  used  either  absolutely,  or  re¬ 
latively;  used  absolutely,  denotes 
sometimes  a  collective,  some¬ 
times  an  individual  or  distribu¬ 
tive  sense;  when  collective,  sig¬ 
nifies  every  body,  every  one,  aim 
is  always  masculine;  when  dis¬ 
tributive,  signifies  every  one, 
each,  and  takes  the  mark  of  gen¬ 
der.)  Absol.  and  collectiv.  —  en 
parle,  every  body  speaks  of  it. 
Absol.  and  distribut.  —  pour  soi, 
every  one  for  himself.  —  à  son 
tour,  each  in  his  turn.  (Chacun, 
said  of  things,  is  never  used  ab¬ 
solutely.  — ,  used  relatively,  is 
said  both  of  persons  and  things; 
is  always  distributive  ;  takes  the 
mark  of  gender;  signifies  every 
one,  and  mostly  each  ;  requires 
the  preposition  de  before  the 
noun  or  pronoun  which  it  is  to 
distribute  ;  but  never,  admits  of 
en  for  its  antecedent)  ;  — de  nous 
fait,  etc.,  every  one  of  us  does. 
f  en  ai  donné  à  —  d’eux,  (said 
of  persons,  not  of  things),  I  gave 
some  to  each  of  them.  Voilà 
trois  cartes,  je  mets  une  guinée 
sur  — e  (not  d’elles,  because  eux 
and  elles  cannot  be  said  of  things), 
there  are  three  cards,  I  stake 
three  guineas  upon  each  of  them. 
(Chacun  is  sometimes  used  by  ap 
position,  or  rather  there  is  an 
ellipsis  of  the  preposition  de  and 
its  regimen)  :  Ces  canifs  coûtent 
un  schelling  — ,  these  penknives 
cost  a  shilling  each  or  apiece  ; 
(which  has  the  same  import  as  : 
Chacun  de  ces  canifs  coûte  un 
schelling  ;  but  chacun  coûte,  etc., 
cannot  be  said)  :  Qu’on  s’en  re¬ 
tourne  —  chez  soi,  let  every  one 
return  to  his  own  house.  (Chacun 
used  by  apposition,  sometimes 
meets  with  a  noun  pointed  out 
by  a  possessive.  Now,  when 
chacun  relates  to  either  the  sub¬ 
ject  or  term  of  the  sentence,  the 
possessive  must  be  of  the  same 
person  as  that  subject  or  term): 
Ils  auront  —  leur  part,  each  of 
them  will  have  his  share.  (But 
when  chacun  relates  to  the  object 
of  the  sentence,  if  that  object  be 
of  the  first  or  second  person,  the 
possessive  must  agree  with  it  ;  if 
of  the  third,  and  said  of  things, 
the  possessive  must  be  of  the 
third  person  singular;  but  if  it 
be  said  of  persons,  and  the  sub¬ 
ject  of  the  sentence  be  itself  of 
the  third  person  singular,  leur 
may  be  used,  to  avoid  ambiguity; 
or  another  turn  must  be  given  to 
the  expression)  :  Dieu  nous  ré¬ 
compensera,  —  selon  nos  œuvres, 
God  will  reward  each  of  us  ac¬ 
cording  to  his  works.  Dieu  les

ticiple  agree  in  number  with  the 
expression  des  infidèles,  and  not 
with  the  partitive  collective  par¬

the  word  armée  presents  an  idea 
independent  of  the  accessory  ex¬ 
pression  des  infidèles.  L’armée 
fut  défaite ;  whereas  une  partie 
requires  the  accessory  expression

indicates  tendency  to  an  end,  to 
an  object  in  view  :  cet  enfant  com¬ 
mence  à  marcher,  this  child  begins 
to  walk,  he  begins  to  make  pro¬ 
gress  in  a  habit  which  is  natural, 
in  an  acquirement  which  is  ne¬ 
cessary.  Cet  enfant  commence  de 
marcher,  etc.  The  child  begins 
walking,  &c.  He  exercises  a  fa¬

[Comparatif  :  wherever  there 
is  a  comparison  of  excess  or  defi¬ 
ciency,  the  verb  constituting  the 
term  of  comparison  is  generally 
preceded  by  ne  :  il  est  plus  vertueux 
que  vous  ne  croyez.  We  say  gene¬ 
rally,  let  it  be  observed,  for  the 
verb  sometimes  follows  the  pro¬ 
noun  without  the  particle  ne:  on 
ne  peut  être  plus  occupé  que  nous 
le  sommes  tous  deux  de  vous.  In 
the  former  example  there  is  an 
idea  of  opposition  or  negation,  if 
not  in  the  subordinate  proposition 
itself,  at  least  in  the  mind  of  the 
speaker,  and  that  idea  is  tanta¬ 
mount  to  :  vous  ne  croyez  pas  qu’il 
soit  vertueux.  In  the  latter  ex¬ 
ample  the  negation  or  opposition 
constitutes  no  part  of  the  subordi-  : 
nate  proposition,  which  is  tanta-  ; 
mount  to  :  nous  sommes  occupés  de 
vous,  les  autres  pas  autant.  It  must 
not,  however,  be  supposed  that 
because  the  first  proposition  is 
negative,  the  second  ought  to  be 
positive.  The  negative  may  exist 
syntactically  in  the  first,  and  syl- 
leptically  or  by  substitution  in  the 
second  :  Les  Spartiates  ne  sont  pas 
plus  étonnés  de  se  voir  mourir, 
qu’ils  ne  l’avaient  été  de  se  trouver 
en  vie,  the  Spartans  are  not  asto¬ 
nished  at  finding  themselves  on 
the  point  of  death;  why  should 
they?  they  were  never  astonished 
to  find  themselves  alive.  The  ne¬ 
gative  of  the  second  proposition 
is  a  syllepsis,  or  conception  of  the 
sense  of  the  words  otherwise  than 
the  words  import.  The  ne  disap¬ 
pears  in  all  cases  where  the  verb 
is  accompanied  by  a  conjunction  : 
il  est  plus  vertueux  que  lorsque  vous 
l’avez  connu.]

[Comparer  à,  comparer  avec: 


comparer  à  supposes  an  analogy 
or  affinity  between  the  objects  of 
comparison  ;  comparer  avec  sup¬ 
poses  that  the  objects  compared 
have  no  affinity  whatever.  Com¬ 
parer  Virgile  à  Homère,  to  com¬ 
pare  Virgil  to  Homer,  supposes 
the  two  poets  to  be  alike,  and  that 
investigation  will  prove  the  re¬ 
semblance.  Comparer  Virgile  avec 
Homère,  to  compare  Virgil  with 
Homer,  supposes  the  merit,  etc. 
of  the  poets  to  be  different,  and 
that  investigation  will  prove  the 
difference.  Comparons  les  œuvres 
de  la  nature  aux  ouvrages  de

a  sufficient  relation  of  resemblance 
to  warrant  the  use  of  à.  Que  l’on 
compare  la  docilité  du  chien  avec 
la  férocité  du  tigre  ;  docilité  is 
sufficiently  opposed  to  férocité  to 
require  the  preposition  avec.  Vous 
osez  vous  comparer  à  moi!  and 
not  avec  moi!  that  is,  dare  you 
suppose  we  have  any  thing  in 
common  to  justify  a  comparison

[Composé,  compound,  a  gram¬ 
matical  term.  In  words  com¬ 
pounded  of  two  nouns  ;  there  is 
generally  an  ellipsis:  Hôtel-Dieu, 
fête-Dieu,  evidently  mean  hôtel 
de  Dieu,  etc.,  and  in  that  case  the 
sign  of  the  plural  belongs  to  the 
first,  hôtels-Dieu,  fêtes-Dieu,  etc. 
When  the  ellipsis  consists  of  a 
suppression  both  of  the  preposi¬ 
tion  and  noun,  the  compound 
noun  always  remains  singular,  as 
the  plural  belongs  to  the  noun 
suppressed  or  understood  :  des 
reine-claude,  that  is  des  prunes  de 
la  reine  Claude.  The  case  is  the 
same  with  the  noun,  tête-à-tête, 
des  tête-à-tête,  that  is,  conversa¬ 
tions,  interviews  held  tête-à-tête. 
We  say  des  petits-maîtres,  both 
adjective  and  noun  in  the  plural, 
because  the  sense  is  complete. 
But  we  say  des  blanc-bec,  des 
rouge-gorge,  both  adjective  and 
noun  in  the  singular,  because  we 
mean  neither  white  bills,  nor  red 
breasts,  but  des  jeunes  gens  and 
des  oiseaux  so  called.  We  say  des 
chefs-lieux,  both  with  the  plural 
mark,  because  chef  was  formerly 
used  as  an  adjective.  In  nouns 
compounded  of  a  verb  and  noun, 
the  real  noun  is  frequently  under¬ 
stood,  thus  we  say  des  abat-jour, 
that  is  des  fenêtres  ;  des  boutefeu, 
that  is,  des  hommes;  des  coupe- 
gorge,  that  is,  lieux  où  Von  coupe 
ta  gorge.  The  real  noun  is  fre¬ 
quently  expressed  and  the  sense 
complete,  in  which  case  the  noun 
may  take  the  sign  of  the  plural, 
if,  in  analysing  the  compound 
word,  it  really  represents  a  plural. 
Thus  we  say  des  chasse-mouches, 
that  is  qui  chasse  les  mouches  ; 
though  we  cannot  say  des  abat- 
jours,  in  consequence  of  the  el¬ 
lipsis  above  mentioned,  and  be¬ 
cause  it  is  an  instrument  qui  abat 
le  jour,  and  not  les  jours.  In  the 
above  class  of  nouns  the  verb  re¬ 
mains  invariable  of  course.  If 
compounded  of  a  preposition  or 
an  adverb  with  a  noun,  there  is 
no  ellipsis,  and  the  noun  alone 
takes  the  mark  of  the  plural 
des  contre-coups,  etc.  Compound

mate  not  only  that  we  ourselves 
entertain  doubts,  but  that  the  per¬ 
son  whom  we  address  may  also 
have  his  reasons  for  doubting.  If 
with  the  interrogation  we  use  the 
indicative,  we  ask  no  information, 
we  merely  intend  conveying  an 
idea  of  reproach  :  croyez-vous  qu'il 
a  de  l'esprit,  which  is  tantamount 


to:  do  you  really  believe  him 
witty  after  all  the  nonsense  you

enough  to  think  he  will  come 
back  ?  Croyez-vous  qu’il  revienne, 
do  you  believe,  suppose,  he  will 
return  ?  When  the  action  is  con¬ 
fined  to  the  subject,  croire  governs 
the  infinitive:  je  crois  pouvoir  vous 
assurer  que,  I  think  I  can  make 
you  sure  that  \je  crois  devoir  vous 
prévenir  que  ;  je  croyais,  je  crus,

DONT,  don,  pron.  whose,  where¬ 
of,  of  which,  of  whom,  lor  whom,

[Dont  is  equivalent  to  de  qui; 
may  be  said  of  persons  or  things  : 
Alexandre  dont  vous  lisez  l'his¬ 
toire  ;  les  biens  dont  vous  jouissez. 
In  speaking  of  things,  duquel,  de 
laquelle  may  be  used  instead  of 
dont,  though  the  latter  is  certainly 
preferable  :  un  arbre  dont  le  fruit 
est  excellent,  is  preferable  to  un 
arbre  duquel  le  fruit  est  excellent. 
If  the  antecedent  is  followed  by 
a  prepos.,  duquel  or  desquels  must 
be  used  :  l'homme  à  la  réputation 
duquel  vous  voulez  nuire,  and  not 
à  la  réputation  dont.  Dont  cannot 
be  governed  by  a  preposition; 
thus  we  cannot  say  :  la  ville  dont 
je  suis  près,  but  la  ville  près  de 
laquelle  je  suis.  In  speaking  of  a 
place  which  xve  leave,  d’où,  and 
not  dont,  must  be  used  :  la  maison 
d'où  je  sors  ;  la  maison  dont  il 
sort,  should  signify  the  family 
from  which  he  descends.  We 
cannot  say  :  c’est  à  vous  à  qui  je 
parle,  because  there  would  be  two 
indirect  regimens  to  the  same 
verb,  we  must  say:  c’est  à  vous 
que  je  parle.  Upon  the  same 
principle,  we  must  say:  c'est  de

[En.  The  pronoun  en  presents 
a  peculiar  difficulty  to  the  English, 
and  consequently  requires  some 
elucidation.  Its  primitive  use 
seems  to  have  originated  in  the  am¬ 
biguous  character  of  the  French 
possessive  pronoun  son,  sa,  ses, 
and  its  principal  difficulty  consists 
in  distinguishing  the  occasions  on 
which  it  is  to  be  employed  in  pre¬ 
ference  to  the  pronoun  which  it 
seems  in  some  measure  to  have 
superseded.  En  is  applied  to 
things;  son,  sa,  ses,  leur,  etc.,  to 
persons.  In  speaking  of  persons, 
son,  sa,  ses  may  be  used  through¬ 
out;  in  speaking  of  things,  son,  sa, 
ses  may  be  used  in  the  first  clause, 
but  en  is  necessary  in  the  second. 
Cet  ouvrage  a  son  mérite,  chacun 
en  apprécie  la  valeur  ;  ces  ouvrages 
ont  leur  mérite,  chacun  en  apprécie 
la  valeur.  L’auteur  est  connu,  et  on 
estime  son  caractère  ;  les  auteurs 
sont  comius,  et  on  estime  leur  ca¬ 
ractère.  In  other  words,  speaking 
of  things,  the  noun  modified  by 
son,  sa,  ses,  leur,  must  refer  to  the 
subject  of  the  proposition.  Hence 
we  say:  chaque  travail  a  sa  fatigue; 
fatigue  refers  to  travail  which  is 
the  subject  of  the  proposition.  Le 
soin  qu’on  apporte  au  travail  em¬ 
pêche  de  sentir  sa  fatigue,  would 
be  improper,  fatigue  refers  not  to 
soin,  subject  of  the  proposition, 
but  to  travail.  We  must  therefore 
say  :  empêche  d’en  sentir  la  fatigue. 
Le  temps  fuit,  la  perte  en  est  irré¬ 
parable,  not  sa  perle,  for  perte  is  no 
part  of  the  first  proposition.  Cette 
rivière  est  belle,  le  lit  en  est  prof  ond, 
and  not  son  lit,  for  the  reason 
above  mentioned.  Many  writers, 
however,  violate  the  rule  when 
by  so  doing  they  can  give  greater 
force  and  precision  to  their  lan¬ 


guage.  La  patience  est  amère, 
mais  son  fruit  est  doux.  Si  les 
grands  ont  le  poli  du  marbre,  ils 
ont  aussi  sa  dureté.  Nay  the  pos¬ 
sessive  pron.  son,  sa,  ses,  is  some¬ 
times  preferable  to  en,  even  in  a 
case  of  perspicuity:  ceux  qui  ont 
cru  anéantir  le  christianisme  en 
allumant  des  bûchers,  ont  méconnu 
son  esprit  ;  here  the  rule  is  set  at 
nought,  but  the  sense  is  evident 
at  once  ;  son  refers  to  christian¬ 
isme.  Combien  ceux  qui  ont  cru 
anéantir  le  christianisme,  en  allu¬ 
mant  des  bûchers,  en  ont  méconnu 
l’esprit,  here  the  rule  is  observed, 
but  there  we  are,  grammatically 
speaking,  at  a  loss  to  know  whe¬ 
ther  the  author  means  the  spirit 
of  faggots,  or  the  spirit  of  Chris¬ 
tianity.  The  rule  must  neverthe¬ 
less  be  observed.]

verns  the  future  or  the  subj.  in¬ 
differently  :  espérez-vous  que  je  le 
fasse  or  que  je  le  ferai  ?  Espérait- 
il  que  je  vinsse  or  que  je  viendrais 
lui  demander  pardon  ?  J’espère 
le  voir  ;  j’espère  de  le  voir,  both 
may  be  said,  but  with  this  differ¬ 
ence,  that  the  preposition  always 
implies  doubt  or  uncertainty. 
Hence  in  the  phrase  :  j’espère  bien 
le  revoir,  the  adverb  bien  excludes 
all  uncertainty,  and  consequently 
renders  the  prep,  inadmissible.  In 
the  following  phrases,  on  the  con¬ 
trary,  the  prep,  is  necessary  :  peut- 
on  espérer  de  vous  revoir  ?  Je  crois 
pouvoir  espérer  de  le  revoir.  On 
m’a  fait  espérer  de  le  revoir  ;  the 
two  infinitives  evidently  denot¬ 
ing  uncertainty.]

GENS,  zân,  s.  m.  pi.  da  mot  gent, 
people,  men,  folks,  hands.  [N.  B. 
Gens  is  masculine  when  it  comes 
before  its  adjective,  and  femi¬ 
nine  when  the  adjective  comes 
first;  and  although  the  adjective 
coming  before  that  noun  is  femi¬ 
nine,  yet  if  there  follows  another 
adjective,  or  a  participle,  or  a 
pronoun  personal,  this  last  must 
be  masculine.  The  word  tout 
coming  before  gens  is  put  in  the 
masculine,  when  it  is  attended 
by  no  other  adjective,  or  the  ad¬ 
jective  coming  before  it  is  of  the 
common  gender,  but  when  the 
adjective  coming  before  gens  is 
feminine,  the  word  tout  agrees 
with  it  also.]  Des  —  fins,  de 
fines  — ,  cunning  folks.  T'ous  les 
—  de  bien,  ali  honest  people. 
Toutes  les  vieilles  — ,  all  old 
people.  Les  petites  — ,  the  lower 
sort  of  people.  —  sans  aveu, 
vagabonds.  —  de  mer,  the  ma¬ 
riners.  Les  —  du  roi,  the  king’s 
council.  Se  connaître  en  — ,  to 
know  mankind.  Tous  nos  — ,  all 
our  people.  — ,  servants,  attend¬ 
ants,  men,  people,  domestics. 

[Gens:  neither  the  rules  nor 
examples  above  given  thoroughly 
explain  the  construction  of  gens, 
a  few  additional  instances  and 
observations  may  not  be  deemed 
superfluous.  Formés  par  l'expé¬ 
rience,  les  vieilles  gens  sont  pru¬ 
dents,  schooled  by  experience,  old 
people  are  prudent.  Vieilles  is 
fern.,  because  it  immediately  pre¬ 
cedes  gens,  prudents  is  masc.  be¬ 
cause  it  follows  gens,  formés  is 
also  masculine  because  in  its  na¬ 
tural  order  the  phrase  should  run 
thus  :  sont  prudents,  parce  qu'ils 
sont  formés  par  V expérience.  We 
say  bonnes  et  vieilles  gens  because 


bonnes  is  connected  with  vieilles 
by  a  conjunction,  and  both  adjec¬ 
tives  have  a  feminine  termination. 
We  say  bons  et  honnêtes  gens,  be¬ 
cause  honnête  being  an  adjective 
of  the  common  gender  prevents 
bon  from  taking  the  feminine  ter¬ 
mination  bonnes.  Ces  petites  gens- 
là  sont  tous  insupportables,  petites 
precedes  gens,  and  is  fem.  ;  tous 
follows  it  and  is  masc.  Les  ques¬ 
tionneurs  les  plus  impitoyables 
sont  les  gens  vains  et  désœuvrés, 
vains  et  désœuvrés  follow  gens  and 
are  therefore  masc.  Though  gens 
be  essentially  feminine,  yet  the 
following  compound  nouns  are 
masculine.  Gens  de  lettre,  gens 
d’affaire,  gens  de  robe,  gens  de 
cœur,  gens  de  bien,  gens  de  guerre, 
as  also  jeunes  gens  :  devrais  gens 
de  lettre,  de  bons  gens  d’affaire, 
certains  jeunes  gens.  Tous  les 
gens  sensés,  tous  les  honnêtes  gens, 
tous  is  masc.  in  the  first  phrase 
because  it  is  alone,  in  the  second 
because  honnête  is  an  adject,  of 
the  common  gender.  Toutes  les 
bonnes  gens,  toutes  les  meilleures 
gens, toutes  is  fem.  in  both  cases  be¬ 
cause  bonnes  et  meilleures  are  fem. 
Certaines  honnêtes  gens,  certaines 
vieilles  gens,  honnêtes  and  vieilles 
account  for  the  gender  of  certain. 
Quels  braves  gens!  quels  masc. 
because  braves  is  of  the  common 
gender.  Quelles  sottes  gens,  quelles 
fem.  because  sottes  is  fern.]

when  the  verb  is  followed  by  two

avoided  putting  a  direct  regimen

expresses  a  new  action,  and  con¬

is  suppressed  :  il  était  honteux  de 
sa  crainte,  et  n'avait  pas  le  courage

the  two  sentiments  of  shame  and 
fear  are  simultaneous,  thereby 
constituting  but  one  mingled  feel¬

verbs  terminating  with  a  or  e  in 
the  2d  person  sing,  of  the  impe¬ 
rative  take  no  final  s:  va,  go; 
donne,  give;  except  vas-y,  go 
thither:  portes-y,  carry-thither ; 
portes-en,  carry  some  ;  donnes-en, 
give  some,  etc.  ;  but  it  is  not  so 
with  en,  préposition:  porte  en  mon 
sein,  bring  in  my  bosom.  The 
verbs  terminating  with  i  may  in¬ 
differently  take  a  final  s  or  no: 
béni  or  bénis,  bless  ;  fai  or  fais, 
do  ;  voi  or  vois,  see  ;  as  likewise, 
vien  or  viens,  come  ;  tien  or  tiens, 
hold  ;  crain  or  crains,  fear;  fein 
or  feins,  feign  ;  and  other  verbs 
ending  with  ain  or  ein.  The 
more  general  use,  however,  is  to 
write  such  verbs  with  a  final  s 
(a  letter  appropriated  in  French 
to  the  2d  person  sing.),  the  omis¬ 
sion  of  it  being  reserved  to  the 
poets,  in  order  to  help  them  in 
their  rhymes.  The  other  verbs 
always  take  a  final  s:  prends, 
take;  mets,  put;  sers,  serve;  sors, 
go  out  ;  pars,  set  out  ;  dors,  sleep; 
meurs,  die  ;  cours,  run  ;  bats,  beat, 
etc.,  etc.  In  imperative  senten¬ 
ces  affirmative  the  pronouns,  ob¬ 
jects  or  terms,  always  come  after 
the  verb  which  governs  them, 
but  are  still  incorporated  with  it, 
and  must  be  joined  to  it  by  a  hy¬ 
phen;  va-t-en,  get  you  gone; 
suivez-moi,  follow  me  ;  prenons- 
le,  let  us  take  it;  donnez-nous, 
give  us;  dites -lui,  tell  him 


laissez-moi  faire,  let  me  do  ;  fais- 
toi  friser,  get  your  hair  drest. 
But  if  the  pronouns  are  govern¬ 
ed  by  another  verb  in  the  infini¬ 
tive,  no  hyphen  should  be  used, 
and  we  say  ;  va  t'amuser,  go  and 
amuse  yourself;  venez  me  parler, 
come  and  speak  to  me;  allez 
vous  habiller,  go  and  dress  your¬ 
self,  etc.,  etc.)

when  employed  substantively,  is 
always  used  in  its  infinitive  :  Lire 
est  une  occupation  utile,  reading 
444 


is  a  useful  occupation.  In  which 
case  the  present  in  French, 
either  simple  or  compound,  per¬ 
forms  the  same  office  as  the 
gerund  in  English,  and  of  course 
may  be  construed  with  any  pre¬ 
position:  era,  however,  must  be 
excepted,  because  it  always  re¬ 
quires  the  gerund.  Sometimes 
the  infinitive,  used  with  no  pre¬ 
position  or  preceded  by  à,  begins 
a  sentence  in  the  same  manner 
as  the  ablative  case  absolute  of 
the  Latin:  À  tout  prendre,  il  en 
arrive  à  peu  près,  comme  au  jeu, 
upon  the  whole,  it  is  nearly  the 
same  as  in  play.  Faire  périr  le 
roi  ou  le  rétablir,  il  n’y  avait  pour 
elle  qu'un  de  ces  deux  partis  à 
prendre,  to  put  the  king  to  death 
or  to  reinstate  him,  she  had  only 
one  of  these  two  measures  to 
take.  But  such  infinitives,  with 
no  preposition,  are  chiefly  used 
in  exclamation  or  interrogation  : 
Tirer  un  homme  de  sa  patrie,  et 
puis  l’abandonner  dans  cette  île 
déserte  pendant  son  sommeil  !  to 
take  a  man  out  of  his  native 
country,  and  abandon  him  after¬ 
wards  in  this  desert  island  when 
he  is  asleep  !  Sometimes  the 
infinitive  stands  for  the  subject 
of  a  sentence,  as  in  the  first  ex¬ 
ample;  lire,  etc.,  in  which  case 
it  is  mostly  answered  by  c’esl, 
even  when  preceded  by  de: 
Souffrir  sur  le  trône  un  usurpa¬ 
teur  si  monstrueux,  c'était  désho¬ 
norer  la  nation,  to  suffer  so  infa¬ 
mous  a  usurper  to  fill  the  throne, 
was  a  disgrace  to  the  nation.  V. 
Ce.  De  vous  dire  s’il  y  a  plus  de 
fous  à  lier  dans  un  pays  que 
dans  Vautre,  c’est  ce  que  mes 
faibles  lumières  ne  me  permettent 
pas,  whether  there  are  more  mad 
people  in  one  country  than  the 
other,  I  cannot  tell,  my  notions 
on  that  head  are  too  imperfect. 
Sometimes,  in  the  comical  style, 
the  infinitive  preceded  by  de 
is  employed  without  being  go¬ 
verned  at  all;  in  which  case  it 
may  be  resolved  by  a  tense  of 
the  indicative  corresponding  to 
that  of  the  preceding  verb.  Gre¬ 
nouilles  aussitôt  de  sauter  dans  les 
ondes,  c'est-à-dire,  les  grenouil¬ 
les  sautent,  the  frogs  immediate¬ 
ly  jump  into  the  water.  R  y

veux  plus,  I  will  have  no  more 
of  it.  Je  —  Vaime  ni  —  le  crains, 
I  neither  love  nor  fear  him. 

[Pas  and  point  follow  or  pre¬ 
cede  the  verb  in  the  infinitive  : 
pour  ne  point  souffrir,  pour  ne 
souffrir  pas:  the  former  is  the 
more  usual.  Point  is  a  stronger 
negative  than  pas;  the  first  is 


absolute^The  second  may  be  mere¬ 
ly  restrictive  :  il  n’a  pas  d'esprit  ce 
qu'il  en  faudrait  pour,  etc.,  he  has 
not  the  wit  necessary  to.  11  n'a 
point  d'esprit,  he  has  no  wit;  the 
sense  is  complete.  For  this  rea¬ 
son,  pas  is  preferable  to  point 
before  plus,  moins,  si,  autant,  and 
other  comparative  terms;  as  also 
before  nouns  of  number.  Pas 
implies  something  transitory,  ac¬ 
cidental;  point  expresses  some¬ 
thing  permanent  and  habitual  :  il 
ne  lit  pas,  he  is  not  read  ing  ;  il  ne  lit 
point,  he  reads  nothing,  he  does 
not  read.  Point  supplies  the  place 
of  non  :  je  le  croyais  mon  ami, 
mais  point  ;  with  pas,  the  phrase 
w’ould  be:  mais  il  ne  l'est  pas. 
Both  are  used  in  questioning, 
where  point  implies  doubt,  buttas 
certainty  or  reproach.  Both  may 
be  suppressed  in  such  questions 
as  the  following  :  y  a  t-il  un  homme 
dont  elle  ne  médise  ?  avez-vous  un 
ami  qui  ne  soit  des  miens?  With 
prendre  garde,  in  the  sense  of 
beware,  both  are  suppressed  : 
prenez  garde  qu'on  ne  vous  sé¬ 
duise  ;  in  the  sense  of  take  notice, 
either  may  be  used  :  prenez  garde 
que  l'auteur  ne  dit  pas  ce  que  vous 
pensez.  Pas  and  point  are  omitted 
when  the  negative  is  made  suffi¬ 
ciently  clear  by  other  restrictive 
terms.  Je  ne  soupe  guère,  je  ne 
soupe  jamais  ;  je  ne  dis  mot. 
Should  que  or  dont  continue  such 
phrases  the  omission  is  still  ob¬ 
served  :  je  ne  soupe  guère,  je  ne 
soupe  jamais  que  je  ne  m'en  trouve 
incommodé.  With  autre  que,  they 
are  often  omitted  :  je  n'ai  d'autre 
but,  d'autre  devoir  que,  etc.  ;  they 
are  constantly  omitted  when 
autre  is  understood:  je  n'ai  de 
volonté  que  la  tienne.  Pas  and 
point  are  suppressed  after  que  in 
the  sense  of  pourquoi:  que  n'  êtes- 
vous  arrivé  plus  tot  ;  also  when  que 
expresses  a  desire  :  que  ne  m' est-il 
permis  ! ...  O  that  I  had  it  in  my 
pow'er  !

[Qta,  subject  of  an  incidental 
hrase,  refers  to  persons  or  things  : 
homme  qui  veut  vivre  en  paix  ;  la 
maison  qui  m'appartient  ;  les  hom¬ 
mes  qui  craignent  Dieu ;  lequel, 
laquelle,  lesquels,  lesquelles  is  never 
used  in  such  a  case.  À  qui,  refers 
to  persons,  or  things  personified  : 
l'homme  à  qui  j'ai  parlé ;  la  vertu 
à  qui  je  rends  hommage.  When 
not  personified,  things  require  not 
qui,  but  lequel  :  la  chose  à  laquelle 
vous  devez  surtout  faire  attention  ; 
c'est  le  point  sur  lequel  il  faut 
réfléchir.  Dont  is  preferable  to  de 
qui  whether  in  the  case  of  per¬ 
sons  or  things:  l'homme  dont  (not 
de  qui )  vous  parlez  ;  la  réputation 
dont  (not  de  laquelle)  vous  jouissez. 
Qui  takes  the  number  of  the  pro- 
noun  which  immediately  precedes 
it:  moi  qui  at  parlé;  toi  qui  as 
parlé  ;  vous  qui  avez  parlé,  etc.  Si 
c'était  moi  qui  eusse  ;  si.  c'était  vous 
qui  eussiez  ;  c'est  moi  qui  le  pre¬ 
mier  ai  montré;  c'est  vous  qui  le 
premier  avez  montré.  Qui  must 
never  be  separated  from  the  noun 
to  which  it  refers;  thus  we  must 
say:  cet  homme  qui  ne  cherche  qu'à 
tromper,  a  grand,  tort,  and  not  :  cet 
homme  a  grand  tort  qui,  etc . . . 
The  interposition  of  an  adjective, 
or  a  preposition,  is  no  violation  of 
the  rule  :  l'homme  intrépide  qui 
marche  à  l'ennemi  ;  les  amis  de  mon 
père  qui  nous  suivaient.  Qui 
agrees  in  number  with  the  noun 
by  which  it  is  immediately  pre¬ 
ceded  :  vous  êtes,  grande  reine,  un 
génie  tutélaire  qui  est  venu  (not 
qui  êtes  venue )  consolider  la  paix. 
Vous  parlez  en  homme  qui  entend 
(not  qui  entendez )  la  matière.  Vous 
êtes  le  premier  qui  ait  (not  qui  ayez) 
éclairci  cette  difficulté.  The  phrase  : 
votre  ami  est  un  des  hommes  qui 
doit  le  moins  compter  sur  moi,  is 
no  violation  of  the  rule.  Doit  is 
in  the  singular,  the  sense  being  : 
de  tous  lés  hommes  votre  ami  est 
celui  qui  doit  le  moins  compter  sur 
moi.  In  the  phrase  :  votre  ami  est 
un  des  hommes  qui  manquèrent 
périr  dans  la  sédition  ;  manquèrent 
is  in  the  plural,  the  sense  being: 
votre  ami  est  du  nombre  des  hom¬ 
mes  qui  manquèrent  périr,  etc.]

SUBJONCTIF,  sùb-zorck-tif,  s.  ni.

[Subjonctif  :  the  present  tense

il  part,  and  signify:  I  do  not  think 
he  starts,  or  it  may  be  an  answer 
to  il  partira,  and  signify:  I  do  not

sulted  ;  je  n' entreprendrai  tien  que 
je  n'aie  consulté,  I  will  undertake 
nothing  till  I  have  (shall  have) 
consulted  ;  again  a  past  and  a  fu¬ 
ture.  The  government  of  each 
verb  being  carefully  noted  all 
along,  it  w;ould  be  superfluous  to 
state  here  what  particular  verbs  ! 
require  the  subjunctive.  But  as  ; 
many  of  them  govern  the  indica¬ 
tive  affirmatively,  and  the  sub¬ 
junctive  interrogatively,  it  may 
not  be  unnecessary  to  state  under 
what  circumstances  the  interro¬ 
gation  requires  the  subjunctive. 
Interrogative  propositions  require 
the  subj.,  when  the  question  in¬ 
volves  any  thing  vague,  doubtful, 
uncertain  or  that  is  considered  as 
such  by  the  speaker:  croyez-vous  I 
qu’il  veuille  y  consentir  ?  Pensez- 
vous  que  ce  soit  lui  ?  When  no 
such  doubt  exists,  when  the  truth 
of  the  proposition  is  indisputable, 
and  the  interrogation  a  mere  form 
of  speech,  the  indie,  is  used  : 
croyez-vous  que  deux  et  deux  font 
quatre  ?  which  is  equivalent  to:  ' 
744 


vous  croyez,  sans  doute,  que  deux 
et  deux  font  quatre  ?  Croyez-vous 
que  Dieu  a  créé  le  ciel  et  la  terre  ! 
equivalent  to:  vous  croyez,  sans 
doute,  que  Dieu  a  créé  le  ciel  et  la 
terre  ?  Were  the  same  question  to 
be  asked  with  a  shade  of  doubt, 
and  in  order  to  have  that  doubt 
cleared  up,  the  subj.  would  be 
used  :  croyez-vous  que  Dieu  ait  créé 
le  ciel  et  la  terrel  The  negation, 
as  it  frequently  implies  doubt, 
also  requires  the  subj.:  je  ne 
savais  pas  que  vous  eussiez  étudié 
les  mathématiques.  Affirmation  it¬ 
self  does  not  always  exclude  un¬ 
certainty,  in  which  case  affirma¬ 
tion  also  requires  the  subj.:  je 
cherche  un  homme  qui  veuille  m'o¬ 
bliger,  qui  veuille  me  prêter  de  l'ar¬ 
gent,  that  is  a  man,  any  man  who 
may  be  willing  to  oblige  me,  etc. 
If  I  say  :  je  cherche  un  homme  qui 
veut  me  prêter  de  l'argent,  I  inti¬ 
mate  that  I  know  such  a  person, 

I  and  am  in  quest  of  him.  From  all 
which  it  may  be  concluded  that 
the  subjunctive  frequently  de¬ 
pends  as  much  on  the  intention  or 
feeling  of  the  speaker,  as  upon 
any  settled  rules  of  grammar.]

SUPERLATI-F,  VE,  sù-pêr-là- 
tif,  tlv,  adj.  {gram.)  superlative. 

[/ Superlatif .  There  are  two 
kinds  of  superlatives,  the  one  ab¬ 
solute,  the  other  relative.  In  the 
superlative  absolute  expressed  by 
le  plus,  le  plus  is  invariable:  cette 
scène  est  une  de  celles  qui  furent  le 
plus  applaudies.  La  lune  n'est 
pas  aussi  éloignée  de  la  terre  que 
le  soleil,  lors  meme  qu'elle  en  est  le 
plus  éloignée  ;  in  both  phrases  the 
degree  is  at  its  highest,  though 
without  reference  or  relation  to 
any  thing  but  the  subject  of  the 
phrases.  Whether  we  are  to  say  : 
les  opinions  les  plus  or  le  plus  gé¬ 
néralement  suivies,  les  mieux  or  le 
mieux  établies  :  les  sentiments  les 
plus  or  le  plus  approuvés  ;  les  opé¬ 
rations  les  plus  or  le  plus  sagement 
combinées  must  depend  altogether 
on  the  peculiar  meaning  we  at¬ 
tach  to  the  phrase.  Thus  in  speak¬ 
ing  of  a  woman  in  a  case  when 
she  can  only  be  compared  to  her¬ 
self  le  plus  is  invariable:  c’est 
quand  son  mari  gronde  qu'elle  est 
le  plus  tranquille,  it  is  when  her 
husband  storms,  that  she  is  at  her 
coolest  ;  c'est  dans  le  tèle-à-tête 
qu'elle  est  le  plus  amiable  ;  when 
there  is  a  reference  to  other  wo¬ 
men  le  plus  is  variable  :  dans 
une  fête,  dans  un  spectacle,  elle  est 
toujours  la  plus  belle.]

[Tomber :  mon  enfant  est  tombé, 
implies  that  the  child  is  stretched 
on  the  ground  ;  mon  enfant  a  tombé, 
intimates  that  he  fell,  but  is  now 
on  his  legs  again.  With  être, 
therefore, tomber  implies  situation  ; 
with  avoir,  action.  This  distinc¬ 
tion  is  but  little  observed.  There 
are  cases,  however,  when  être 
cannot  be  employed  with  any  de¬ 
gree  of  accuracy.  When  a  thing 
has  one  name  before  it  falls,  and 
another  after  it  has  fallen,  situa¬ 
tion  or  stale  is  out  of  the  question  : 
la  pluie  tombe,  la  pluie  a  tombé.  In 
speaking  of  a  period  not  yet 
elapsed  être  may  be  used  :  la  pluie 
est  tombée  ce  matin  à  verse  ;  though 
it  would  be  ridiculous  to  say  :  la 
pluie  est  tombée  à  verse,  il  y  a  six 
jours.  The  same  observation  is 
applicable  to  foudre  and  tonnerre: 
l'année  derniere  le  tonnerre  a  tombé 
sur  plusieurs  édifices  ;  le  tonnerre 
est  tombé  ce  matin,  or  a  tombé  ce 
malin  dans  la  Seine.  Tomber  par 
terre,  is  said  of  the  person  or  thing 
that  touches  the  ground  ;  tomber  à 
terre,  of  the  person  or  thing  that 
falls  from  any  elevation  above 
the  ground.  The  first  may  be 
said  of  a  man  walking  in  the 
street  ;  the  second  of  a  slater  fall¬ 
ing  from  the  roof  of  a  house:  un 
arbre  tombe  par  terre  ;  le  fruit  de 
l'arbre  tombe  à  terre.]

not  the  objects  of  the  senses,  and 
then  it  is  spoken  to  usher  in  those 
things:  but  what  is  more  particu¬ 
lar  is,  that  it  has  the  power  of  a 
verb, making  a  complete  sentence 
with  the  following  noun  or  the 
preceding  pronoun;  sometimes 
also  it  is  attended  by  a  relative 
and  a  verb,  and  sometimes  only 
b  y  que;  all  which  forms  of  speech 
are  Englished  several  ways:  be¬
